Hi everyone!
I got a b6000 with a b219 loader with an external hydraulic pump that is powered by the fan belt pulley.
Just recently it started to whine after warming up when lifting. It also moves slowly and lacks lift power after it starts to whine. It sounds as if the whine is coming from the cylinders rather than the pump.
It originally happened last week, so I changed the fluid. After using it today (the first good use since the fluid change) and hearing the whine, I checked the level with loader bucket on the ground and it was low on fluid. I topped off and it made no noise until it came under load, at which point the screech came back with vigor.
It has always pushed some fluid out of the breather when dropping the loader from height.
There is no filter on the system.
If the pump is blown the good news is that a new pump is only about 75 bucks or so and is a straightforward install. On the other hand, mayhaps its something else.
Anyone got any input?
