Then the oil started getting foamy. I changed the oil and filter at that point not knowing the exact history of the last oil change. Took a little longer to get foam after that. Now I should add that I only use this machine around the farm so it sits 5 out of 7 days. Used it pretty heavy towards the end of the month and the lift and bucket where jerky and slow when I got done with project. Now is jerky all the time. Hoss54 described it perfectly right down to gurgles after shut down. Seems to be a little better if I don't run at full RPMs. I will add that when I take the filter block drain plug out no oil drains out. I've checked for flaps in hoses, replaced orings and checked all connections. Like I said I'm going to check pressures tomorrow when the gauges I ordered get here.</p></blockquote><p></p>
