It has around 400psi and holds with the drives free and levers moved, but when you lock the wheels the charge falls to 0 when you move the levers. Also I noticed that at full throttle the hydraulic filter light comes on. I checked the chains on the left hand side just to check for the motor leaking through or something. I didn't find that. but I did find a bunch of metal. I pulled the front axle out and the slots in the back where the locking pin goes had wore a groove in between all the holes rendering the locking mechanism useless. I then saw that all the welds holding the locking pin deal in were broke, so I welded them all up. Then I welded up the gear and then milled the holes back for the pin. I got it all back together and then while tightening up the axle nuts my air compressor motor caught ON FIRE!!!!! This machine seems doomed I should have let the old compressor burn and the damn 1840 with it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
