1st... LOL that is far from a long post.

I wish I could help, not a hdyo guy. But I would think you are more to having a dead lift cyc. Have you tried to roll the bucket and see if you hear this sound? Do you hear this sound when NOT using the loader? Do you hear this sound when turning the wheel to hard left or hard right?

Where does the squealing sound like it is coming from and when is it happening? The shaking could be from the packing or from air in the system from a leak. It can even happen at start up before the system is fully charged. When is the shaking happening?

thanks for the replys..it happens up or down curl,and dump..it sounds like when you bottem out a cylinder...but today the loader valve would stick ..and i cant really tell where the sound is comeing from,,,, i am takeing it to the dealer on wednesday....i would just like to get an idea of what it could be..and i hope it is covered under warranty..thanks for the help Bruce

"..and i hope it is covered under warranty."

Don't fret about your warranty.

 

[MrSteve]

Yes true, that is if he is under the 2 years, correct?

Has the 1500 series been out two years?
