Thomas t133

[posty]

Recently purchased a t133 engine ended up being blown rebuilt it and got it going but the drive motors have a fairly loud whine it's mostly when not under load hydraulics and drives are strong but has a pretty loud whine only thing I could find in manuals was possibly air in hydraulics anyone else dealt with something like this

I've got a Ford CL45 which is the same as a Thomas T133 except different engine, I have to use earplugs when I use the thing because of the noise from the drive motors, it's always been that way. I bought it as a rental machine back in 1986 with fairly low hours and the noise from the drive motors is always been about the same. I always put in my foam ear plugs when I use the machine.
