Hi everyone,
Just purchased a 2006 S250 with 1810 hours, My issue is when turning left or right I get a terrible squeal or whining with some vibration or chatter. No sound forward or reverse or when lifting logs. I did add hydro stat fluid initially when I got it home do to it being low, About 3 quarts before the little ball rose off the bottom of sight glass.
Since then I have done a full hydrostatic fluid change along with the two filters under seat area. I have not done any inspection beyond that. I am second owner, The first owner bought new from bobcat and it was used in a indoor factory for recycling copper from electric motors. To say the least it was not on a Maintence schedule the last date on oil filter was 4-23-2015 but they said it has sat for last five years after purchasing two forklifts. Husband and wife Owners were in there late 70s and from another country. So again they new nothing about routine Maintence. Where should I start trouble shooting ?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
Sincerely Jim H.
