[QUOTE="Arik434, post: 99416, member: 14734"] So I ran the 440 again yesterday in the snow. (Sure is fun in snow!). I have no issues with the hydrostatic system as it drives and steers really well. This time, I noticed that my hydraulics seemed to perform worse the more I used them. Again in the garage it dumped a bunch more oil. This time I had a better idea of what to look for and it definitely seemed to be coming from the top of the resevoir tank. Oil was filled with air bubbles. I've bought all new Poland a hydro filter to change it out, but I guess it's time to pull the motor and have a better look at the hoses. I can get the motor out without taking all the pumps out since someone modified the torque plate. I'm torn on whether or not to just try and put a new seal kit in the hydraulic pump. I've seen 2-3 other threads on here with issues almost identicle to mine, and it seems that many have rebuilt the pump and the issue was fixed. That doesn't totally make sense to me, as I'm not sure how it would suck air. At this point, the only thing I can tell for sure is that I'm getting tons of air in the system. [/QUOTE]
