Hello all, I am a new owner of a Case 646 Tractor,
I am having a problem with lack of hydraulic power, I have had a new banana plate made (having a few extra made also) and fixed the forward reverse problem, I now have excellent travel in the control valves and good forward and reverse speed.
The problem I am having is when trying to use the loader moving forward it will not lift and move forward at the same time, in fact the loader bucket will slowly go down when trying to lift and move forward.
I am thinking its time to change all the oil over to rotella 15-40
I have no idea of the history of this machine, the loader works as it should when sitting still, but i could not even scoop up a rock yesterday that maybe weight 100lbs, could not go forward and lift at the same time.
any opinions? am i on the right track to consider changing all the oil?
appreciate any help. Mike
