When I start the skidsteer and let it either idle or turn while moving, the pump seems to whine really loud, also the controls seem jumpy to me, maybe this is normal with this machine, I don't know because I just purchased it and replaced the motor from a Fiesa. (By the way if anyone needs info on that project please ask). I also noticed that it wants to steer to the left when both sticks are moved forward. I seem to have 3/4's level of hydraulic fluid so I can't see that as an issue. Is there any adjustments? If I move one stick just the slightest bit at idle the noise goes away. Silly question but would adjusting the parking brake and adjusting the sticks help (if that is even possible to adjust the sticks). Not sure what to do on this. I have a 1983 with a pump that has one big hose coming out of the top so i'm guessing I don't have a in line filter. Where should I drain the hydraulic oil from when I change it out for new stuff even though this doesn't look dirty? Thanks and p.s. I love the education I am getting from this web site !!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
