This is a picture of the two filters. As you can tell by the picture I punch a hole in the 14070 filter. It is confusing because of the manual I was looking at shows the white one in the picture as the suction. The yellow also has HST filter stamped on it. So I thought I punched the wrong filter.

i would remove the snap ring and cover from the charge pump and inspect the pump and especially the oring under the cover??? it could be sucking air at this point and not draw oil?
So what is a round ball park figure to do this if it is the case?
would you share the source and part number thread size etc for the adapters and gauges? i agree a set of high and low pressure test gauges would be beneficial.

this is probably a good place to drop this information----- i fyou are inclined to tinker and are willing to spend a little money on tools??? with a set of test gauges an accurate cheap laser tach and laser thermometer and some basic hand tools wrenches vicegrips screwdrivers etc you can adjust the drivetrain on your HST driven Kubota RTV to the limit of factory spec and the performance change will amaze you. there is a specific temperature of the oil and rpm of the engine that easy to check and then adjusting the relief valves is real easy. it is amazing to me just how out of spec a brand new RTV is adjusted at the factory. in my opinion every dealer should be authorized before the point of sale to adjust every machine they sell before the customer buys. also of note that if you don't use the OEM transmission oil the pressure spec will not be accurate.
I will try doing this, this afternoon. I did run the engine some last night and shift through the gears and I opened the reservoir tank and I could see the fluid moving toward the engine. I then opened the transmission tank. When I looked down into the tank I could see some gears and they were not moving while in gear. When I rocked the buggy in gear, the gears would move.
the oil moving in the tank under the seat is the power steering and bed lift circulating. the gears will only move if driven by the hst or as you did by moving the machine back and forth. if you don't have a charge pressure oil the swash plate won't tilt and the rotating valve assembly won't fill so no movement.
Got it. Thanks for taking the time to educate. I have learned a lot from you and others already.
Can you recommend a “cheap laser tach”…?? I tried a couple other types* and they simply are not reliable.
When I purchased my 2014 X900 I suspect the PO had adjusted the idle-screw “down” to what he thought a diesel should idle at (….i.e., so slow it vibrated excessively)…. so I readjusted it back up to the point the think idled much more smoothly…. but only guessing it’s at the proper 1300 or so recommended.
*(vibration and injector-sensing types)
sorry. i don't know what is the best laser tach. might check into a photo tach??
I was having the exact same issue as Gotmyrtvmike after replacing the diesel engine in my 2009 1140. When the rear end was jacked up the tires would spin in Low and Reverse for about 60 seconds while engine was cold but then after getting warm the HST would seemingly lose all pressure. Seemed like a high-pressure let-off issue but everything had been gone through to no avail. Finally caved and took it to local dealer and they very quickly realized I had swapped the order of the two external filters on the HST. Apparently these two filters have reverse "flow" functionality from each other and my "suction" filter wasn't able to suck...haha. Stupid me. Anyway, cheap fix. They slapped me on the wrist for having tweaked my servo and they went ahead and adjusted all of my throttle cables and servo adjustment...etc so its all dialed in. $300 in labor and problem solved. Check those two filters to make sure you have them in the correct order.
what was your reasoning to tweek the servo? and yes about the filters---never go by color alone for the filter placement...i have seen the kubota filters exchange colors several times---always use the filter number. thanks for sharing
Tweaking the servo was my last ditch effort to see if I could get power to the wheels. It was literally the last thing I tried. Did an entire engine swap and several upgrades to the machine, and ended up getting everything put back together correctly except for those two filters being in the reversed order 🤦♂️. And yes, the color was what got me goofed up...the new ones were the opposite colors as the previous two.
Great suggestion
Hey guys, I am back at trying to get my 1120d running. The fly wheel cover was busted so I replaced. I heated up the engine and no movement. I pulled the top filter off and there is no oil getting to it. Is there a way to prime the hst or any ideas on my next step?
Thanks
Thanks
Hey aurthurits, now back at getting my 1120d moving. The high pressure relief poppet- where is it and how do I test it?

Here is a picture of the high pressure relief valve. When looking from the back it is on the passenger side near the top. Where it touches the actuator there needs to be a slight air gap. It also needs to move in and out freely. When you press on the brake pedal it relieves the pressure so you can move the gear shift lever. If it is stuck in then you won't generate any pressure to drive the trans.

Great. I will check that.
