LS185.b Hydraulic lines vibrating

[Mike336]

Hi Guys ...this is a great forum and I am hoping someone can help me out with this. My LS 185.b steel auxiliary PTO hydraulic lines tend to vibrate and chatter when the machine warms up. The lines are right above the right foot pedal and I can feel them vibrate and chatter at 1/4 and 1/2 throttle... Full throttle not a problem. I have been using a ambusher attachment on this machine and notice the vibration with or without the attachment. I dropped the machine off to the dealer yesterday and he looked at me rather stumped...oh boy.. 2nd problem...Also I have noticed the machine will turn over but not start at times ...I did move the Aux Handle left and right and sometimes that helps...might not be in neutral...but what is the best way to adjust that handle...I know the center locking pin for the handle is off.. I have used the ambusher, six way plow and a root grapple quite a bit... Thank You

The lines should be clamped where they exit the cab area on the left side. The panel between your feet is bolted to a front support. This support has foam which conforms around the lines. You might check if it is present.

Yes all clamps are present and tight...I even added some more foam from pipe insulation to the area...Machine has about 550 hrs..Maybe normal ? If the dealer comes up with anything I'll post it... Thanks for the help
