I have a 2008 Montana C5264, its 1960's technology and build by UTB of Romania, Same as the old Universal tractors.
Issues:
Jerky Bucket/Loader when raising the bucket -- especially when hot
Steering hits stiff spots
Steering locked up once to the point I had to use all my strength to get it to budge, it then freed up and worked fine.
rattling coming from the Hydr pump area (dealer thinks its likely the coupler vs the pump cavetating)
Front wheels move left and right, while the steering wheel stays straight (cant feel anything in the steering wheel), can see the steering hydr cylinder ram moving in and out.
Suspect the following possible issues:
Air in the system -- getting in where?
Hydr Pump Cavetating due to the in-line Hyraulic filter (paper type filter vs the screen type these things used to come with years ago)
Hydr Pump failing
Whats been done so far:
Changed Filter on the Hydraulic system
Pulled the priority valve and cleaned some burr's off it and the seat it slides in.
checked for Hydr leaks - none visible
checked Hydr fluid level - ok
I had these issues on an off since new.
Dealer was unable to solve
Its now getting worse and i'm looking for ideas
thanks in advance
