I am not familiar with the B3200 - does it have a cooling fan tucked up under like the BX series? If so - check that and make sure it has all its fins!

That model does not have a fan, but it already has a hydraulic oil cooler. 
I would suggest changing the filter and fluid, and clean the radiator and oil cooler.

Wolfman, on my l3200 the hyd. cylinder on the main boom of the backhoe gets so hot I can't hold my hand on it after a few hours of digging stumps.That model does not have a fan, but it already has a hydraulic oil cooler.

should I need some type of cooler on this unit. I hate to have all that heat attacking the seals and o rings.
By the way, I was up in Sandpoint last month delivering a motorhome. Beautiful place and i'm envious of the "North 40" store. wish we had one down here.
Thanks
