About two weeks ago, I changed the oil and oil filter in my 5740C while at my buddy's place, while we also did his 4 tractors. I had been having a small hydraulic leak in one of the 3 hydraulic lines metal connectors coming off of that metal box looking deal under the right side step that has the 3 hydraulic lines that go to the FEL and we decided to fix it at that time too. It turned out to be a bad rubber "O" ring in the middle line connector so we replaced it, put the connector back together and it all worked fine, with no more leaks. We then checked and added hydraulic fluid to my system to make up for what had leaked out due to that drip, over time. Anyhow, about a day or so later after pasture mowing with no problems at all, I went and spiked a large round bale with the FEL spike, for my cattle. On the way from where I store the hay to where I put it out for them, I noticed that during turning the steering wheel and also during moving the FEL spike, with the bale on it, up or down slightly, I'm getting an intermediate sound kind of like you get when you turn the power steering in your vehicle too far in one direction. The sound doesn't last, is off and on when it is happening and it also doesn't occur other than when I have a round bale on the FEL spike. I've checked and the hydraulic fluid is as high as it can go on my dipstick. Any thoughts? I didn't occur before at all.
