My 1430 has been over the past few months showing symptoms of a problem due to the fact it sometimes slows to a crawl while backing up.
I finally went to hydraulic shop and after discussing the problem with the owner, found out my wheels motors, pump and tram (or transmission) will need to be rebuilt due to the metal/other material floating in my hydraulic oil tank. At least for now this is what he believes is going on.
If I take all the motors, pump and trans off the machine and take them to the shop, the bill should be less than $1400.00 or so. He also questioned the NAPA filter I had on the line indicating it could be part of the problem for it is probably not a suction filter. He also does not like the use of motor oil as the hydraulic fluid.
I do not the time to do this now, so I will have to postpone the work until later, but is a bummer as the machine only has about 450 hours on it.
