- Kioti 1914 TLB kl1210 loader and a smc 65a backhoe (same as rhino)
I purchased a SMC(rhino) 65A backhoe about a year and a half ago. So far I am very pleased with it's performance. Recently, it has developed annoying sound. When ever any of the controls are pulled back when the corresponding piston is all the way in, there is a chattering sound. At first it was only the boom lever control that created this sound. I thought that it might be dirt in the system so I changed the oil and filter. Still the same. Does anyone there have any ideas as to what might be my problem? The tractor that it's mounted to only has about 115 hours so the backhoe might have 50 hours at most but I am sure it's less. I am a home owner not a business. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
