1845C

[Thechap]

I recently purchased a 1999 Case 1845C with about 1130 hours on it. Was using it the other day and the front bucket is getting slower to dump but lifts back up just fine. Anyone have any ideas why it is doing this. Oh, by the way, I know nothing about a skid steer except for operating them. Thanks for the help. Bryan

It could be as the machine warms up, the oil gets thinner. The thinner oil may be by-passing in your pump a little more causing slower operation. I don't know if there are any anti-cavitation valves in the system that could be causing this issue or not. There are a few possible causes, rangine from simple to expensive.
I assume you have done the simple things first? replacing filters, check oil level, see if the oil is foamy.
