Hey all. New here. Name is Brad. I recently got a case 1830. It wasnt running when I got it. Drive pump was out. got it fixed, other side went out shortly after /. Anyway, I have gotten it going again and have put some hours on it. When this thing is running at idle, you can hear and feel a "hum" from the hydros. Seems to be coming from the hydraulic pump. I was getting a little foam and thought I found the source, which was a loose suction hose. Foam seems to be gone now, though I havent ran it for very long since. Other thing I noticed is the hydrostatic drive is very noisey when turning or a decent load is on it. I have never owned a skid steer, only rented bobcats. I dont remember any of them being this noisey. Can any Case owners shed some light as to what kind of noises are normal on these things? The noise has remained unchanged since I have had it running (both times) maybe normal? Running Hy-tran ultra fluid. New filter. I Disassembled and flushed the best I could. I am actually very pleased overall with this little machine. Even being a little low on power, it digs pretty well. Brad
