T1510 with 110TL Loader Hydraulic noise

78CJ · Dec 1, 2019

I started noticing (too long ago) that my hydraulics were getting noisy. My tractor is stored in various places, sometimes indoors sometimes not. I have been meaning to try and address the issue but have not. I did notice yesterday that when cold upon startup it makes no noise at all. Once using it for a while it gets so noisy there is almost a shudder from the FEL valve.

Any suggestions are appreciated as to where to start.

Thanks

I would start with checking fluid level and condition of oil. After operating loader for period of time, take sample of oil.
Is the oil foamy, clear, milky? Oil could be contaminated with water. When was the filter last changed?

Drained the oil last night. Very very foamy. I normally pull the filter off and just let it flip over and place it in the pan. This time I didn't and I took it to the bench. Glad I did. It is significantly different than the new one. The new one has a much larger seal thicker and the diameter closely matches the flange. The one that has been on there since my last change had a smaller diameter seal that I am surprised made it seal. So, I suspect this could have contributed?

Called with the part numbers on lunch. The new filter is wrong. So, back to square one.

Update in case anyone else is looking for a cause.

Everything is good and no noise so far since changing the oil. The best I can tell the culprit was a golf ball sized dent in the bottom of the old filter.

Thanks
