I loaned the machine out to my neighbor who drove it 4miles round trip and moved some dirt in between. When trying to put the machine away I got this grind in any direction; forward, reverse or side to side. A month went by and I wanted to move the machine (150ft) to the garage to work on it I didnt think I was going to make it. The more I pushed on the sticks the slower it got. Full stick forward the machine would not move. Tezza suggested that I may have a bearing that is bad but because of the way it moved I am thinking the pump. Is my grind really pump whine? I see no sign of a leak and the reservoir is full with clean fluid so I really don't know. Also I left the arm/ bucket up a little and I noticed the next morning they had fallen or returned to there normal position of rest. I'm new to skid steers so any guidance is appreciated to get me started. My dad gave me this machine and it only has 157hrs on it but it is 34yrs old (digits 84 at end of SN). I do have the service manual so I'm not completely in the dark. Sorry for the ramble Thanks K</p></blockquote><p></p>
