this 1980 mf6500h has a perkins LD31179*U249116S* engine diesel 4 cylinder motor. has a transmission tag of 2WD 215 C0158
MASSEY-FERGUSON

I checked the cylinoid on top of transmission it is getting power when you switch the shuttle shift to forward on one side. and power to reverse on otherside. so I figured it wasn't a power or switch issue.
the transmission was ran low on fluid at the beginning of this problem added about 3 gallon of fram hydrolic fluid to get the level right. noticed the fluid had some air bubbles in it on dipstick not sure if this is normal.
it moved a few times till parked then it took a while and a few tries to get it back to warehouse.
There's a pump on the left side of the engine. with a pickup screen next to it. I was wondering if this could be the pump that is bad or is it in the transmission.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
