Hello all,
Quick question for you gurus. I have a 1300D, runs great but has a loud knock that is a little troubling. I have changed the oil and filter on the motor. Running 15-40 in the motor. I don't believe the knock is from the crank or rods. I believe it is coming from the hydraulic pump. the fluid in the rear diff/trans is white/aerated. At first I thought it might have been water but if you put some on your fingers it will clear out and is just oil. I have a 155d manual but it isn't clear. where is the screen / filter for the hydraulics? I am going to check the screen, clean it and change the fluid and see it it gets any better/quieter. Any other ideas would be welcome also.
I apologize for taking over your post to correct misinformation on hydraulic functioning.
Now another thought that crossed my mind related to your possible air problem, is a very small hole or even a very slightly loose fitting. This would most likely be on your suction line going to your pump. Anything on the pressure side would most likely be spraying out fluid. You will have pressure on the hydraulic system anytime the pump is operating. Unless you have sheared the shear pin your pump will be operating anytime your tractor is running. A suction side ‘leak’ can be a pain to find. Clean the suction line including fittings and check for wet spots. The suction line will eventually connect to the screen that has been mentioned. The flow is from the reservoir through the screen through the suction line to the pump to the smaller pressure ‘line’ back to the system. Not knowing your tractor setup, there could be a number of places the pressure line goes at this point.
If you have a FEL, pressure is diverted somewhere to supply it, id you have spool valves in addition to your 3ph lift valve pressure is diverted there also. Each of these hydraulic valves will allow the flow to continue past them to return to the reservoir until the valve is trip to divert the flow. But flow continues regardless and pressure is present to push the flow.
Good luck on finding the source of your ‘bubbles’.
