Discussion:
Transmission fluid overflows out of breather cap when moving loads.

When this machine warms up and starts moving heavy loads the transmission oil starts to come out the breather cap. Tried changing the oil (Dex 3) but problem still continues.

This machine is used outdoors and loads are lifted off the ground. Nothing is being pushed with this machine.

what is the oil level?
when cold? (before work)
when hot? (after use)

since you check the oil with it running have you checked inside the dipstick tube to see if there is any foaming when it starts coming out?

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
