My hydraulic pump on my 2000 TC29 is making a high pitched wining noise. My hydraulic fluid was a little low (about a gallon) so I put some of Tractor Supplies Traveller brand in. The noise was still there, but the next day when it was cold, it was very very noisy. There is also some chatter when dumping the bucket down and the bucket also drops forward slowly on its own.
I have about 900 hours on it and have yet to replace the hydraulic fluid and filter, but planning to do so this weekend. However, I don't drive the hydraulics hard. Does this noise mean that the pump is going bad? Could the Traveller's brand of fluid not be compatable with the recommended 134D? How can I determine for sure what the problem is.
