I believe it's a 1994 Hurth HSW630A1-2.0Trans model?

I agree and have it on order.
Velvet Drive/Borg Warner's here 5000 series..I believe it's a 1994 Hurth HSW630A1-2.0
You may have the wrong filter installed in the tranny, or it was just not installed properly. I changed the filter on both of mine when I did the repower. There are two o-rings, one small one that fits the inner lip of the filter and a large one that seals the cap to the tranny. It is very easy to misaligne the cap as it is a pressure fit and squeezes the o-ring to seal it. You need to apply even pressure around the outside edge of the cap while tightening the t-handle.I was able to identify the source of my transmission leak and I'm looking for some help on how to fix it. The ATF is coming from the removable strainer shown below.. I'm aware that it's a common problem for this to not be completely seated, but in this case it seemed to be tight and well seated but was leaking profusely. I also noticed that the removable basket/strainer on the leaking side was different the the non leaking side. The leaking strainer looks to be all SS while the non leaking strainer seems to be some type of coated metal. Is this a simple o-ring replacement or complete strainer replacement or is there more to it?View attachment 72445
I definitely hope it’s that simple. I have a new filter and O-rings on order should be arriving Wednesday and I’m going to install on Saturday. Wish me luck.You may have the wrong filter installed in the tranny, or it was just not installed properly. I changed the filter on both of mine when I did the repower.

Ok...pulled apart/ when I pulled the seal, several parts spilled out. Luckily I have a transmission service manual. Installed new seal. Tried to drain transmission, but had no luck pulling the drain plug.....installed new flange with Nylocs nut and sealer. Torqued to 230 foot pounds and connected prop shaft. Tomorrow will fill trans and install exhaust hoses and fire it up. Will take a ride and see how she works. Will report back tomorrow.View attachment 72570 View attachment 72572 Ok.....separated the output flange from the prop shaft flange....put socket on the output shaft flange, prepared to deal with 200 foot-pounds...it took about 10. Not good. Pulled Nylocs nut off shaft and the flange slipped off..with a bunch of trans fluid....catch pan in place. Back of flange was burred up. Cleaned up area and going to pull seal and reinstall in the am. No wonder I had a leak.

Has anybody used an air mattress in the cabin. We are going to have a full house this weekend and I’m wondering if an air mattress will fit. If so.... how big? Full?
Recommended that I change fluid in both transmissions, run them this weekend, drain and fill again......will happen today....View attachment 72570 View attachment 72572 Ok.....separated the output flange from the prop shaft flange....put socket on the output shaft flange, prepared to deal with 200 foot-pounds...it took about 10.
