Ok, been messing with tractor this morning. I started tractor and worked functions while holding to hoses. Here is what I know, or atleast think I know.
I worked loader functions. The "in" "pb" "tank" lines all jump a little bit when any loader function is moved. I am convinced that the "clunk" noise I have been talking about, is those hoses between tractor hyd port and loader valve. Those hoses must surge or vibrate and when that shock wave meets the end of the hoses at tractor hyd ports and loader valve, the wave is stopped when it impacts the fixed ends. Thus the "clunk" sound. The sound is only made when the bucket function is returned to neutral though. Don't know what is different with the boom function, but it won't do it.
The eletric, static, plastic bag flick sound I have been talking about is the power steering lines off the top of the pump on sideof engine to the steering box under steering wheel.
I started tractor up and let it idle for 25 minutes. I was checking lines and such and after 10 minutes I started to hear the static noise. I felt the steering line and could feel the pulse in them same time as I heard the noise. Don't feel pulse in any other lines, just steering lines. The line has a plastic wrap on it and was loose at the steering box end. I have tapped the loose end tight. My thinking is this is what was MAKING the static like noise when the steering line would pulse. But I don't know what is CAUSING the pulse in the lines. Is this normal? I have to wait for rain to stop to go run tractor to see if my tape job quieted this static like noise.
There are 2 steering lines from top of main pump to steering box. Both pulse a bit sporatically, especially if I rev on the throttle and let off. When engine is winding down that is when I feel the pulse. However when I am out working the tractor, I hear the static noise rather I am reving it or letting it idle. This noise is much louder and more frequent when I am working tractor and everything is hot.
While I was letting tractor idle and warm up, I was checking all hyd lines to see which ones heat up and would pulse. I noticed some lines got warm and some didn't. I traced them all best I could, and seems like all "tank" lines did NOT get warm. All "in" and "power beyond" lines got warm. I take this as normal.
