Well, south Texas is getting HOT. This weekend, after about 4 hours in 90+ temp (but the engine temp guage was normal) I noticed my L39 hydraulics started to shudder on the backhoe and FEL when I was making small - slow movements on the FEL or hoe. Normally, everything is smooth as silk. I noticed it last weekend too - but I thought it was just my imagination and being hot and tired after 4 to 5 hours seat time. But, this weekend after 4 hours of almost constant operation - the shudder was definately there.
My L39 has almost 900 hrs and I've put the last 125 hrs on it. I bought it used from Kubota dealer and he changed all filters a fluids at 775 hrs. I checked fluild level and it is at the top mark where it has been. No leaks on concrete floor at all. However, when I did check the fluid level later Saturday evening, I noticed a few very small (tiny) bubbles in the fluid - not foam - just several tiny bubbles on the dipstick. I didn't remember seeing them ever before??????
Any ideas??
