My B26 began making a strange screeching noise for a few minutes when it is first cranked after sitting overnight. I typically sounds like a squealing bearing but the sound is only when depressing the HST pedal. As long as I don't exceed 1200 RPM and about half of the HST pedal, it is silent. If I increase the RPM AND the HST pedal, it starts squealing and the more pedal I give it the louder is the sound. This all disappears after about 5 minutes of warm up.
Any ideas what could be causing this. Everything operates normally except for the HST squeal. The tractor has 390 hours. HST filter and fluid was changed at 200 hours. Fluid was a universal fluid that was listed as equal to Kubota hydraulic fluid. The squalling just started about 10 hours ago.
