I have a 1973 MF 175 with live PTO and cleaned the hydro filter as follows: Drain hyd fluid into a couple of clean 5 gal buckets. Remove the PTO engagement lever and cover from the L/H side of the trans housing (below the seat). Remove the safety wire that is twisted around the filter retainer. Do not destroy as you will need to re-attach after cleaning. Remove filter by unscrewing filter 'cup' and filter - the cup has a wing nut type deal on the bottom. Clean the fine mesh stainless steel filter in diesel fuel and re-install. Be sure to re-attach the safety wire as it keeps the filter from vibrating loose. Cleaning this filter made a major improvement with my 175.
