[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 7063, member: 82"] Its normal for it to make a lot of growling at low rpm, you will feel a lot of vibration in the sticks too. At mid to full throttle it should be smooth and little noise should be heard from the hydrostatics unless you push in to a pile of dirt. One last thing i would try before attacking the pump would be to swap the hydro motors over. If the problem goes from one side to the other it soulds like a motor problem. If not, it could be the pump(s). Your hydraulics still operate normally? like lift and tilt, no noise while siting still? It will growl a bit if the RPM is low, thats normal. But at a good speed it should be quiet and quite responsive. You may have to take it to the dealer to get a test done on the pumps. They can do a flow and pressure test that will tell you if the pumps are ok or not. Not something you wanted to hear i'm sure, but it may be needed yet. You did mention you bought a new motor for the LHS so it does sound like a pump problem. The problem is your main hydraulic pump acts as a charge pump for the 2 pumps for the left and right side drive. If its weak, there may not be enough charge pressure for the other pumps that will cause a loss of drive. You could put a pressure gauge on the pump, rite at the back near the fuel tank. There is a pressure switch here, remove it and put a gauge in. The pressure from memory should be around 100PSI. My manual will give me an exact number. Block the loader and start it with the gauge attached. Try moving the sticks and see what the pressure reads. There shouldn't be buch of a drop as its not under any load.
