    T250 Sound when turning/moving under load

    I agree with KSSS, it always wines. Mine still makes some noises that make me think it's going out, but I've put a good 100+ hours on it since the debacle above and had no major change in charge pressure or other issues. If your fluid was clear of metal and it's otherwise running good, I'd...

    T250 Sound when turning/moving under load

    No I never checked the pressure on a gauge when I capped each side. I just capped a side off then tried to go forward/reverse to see if it would stall the engine or the levers would push back. They pushed back. I'm pretty sure I've seen people or manuals talking about checking pressure at the...

    T250 Sound when turning/moving under load

    Yeah I'll post an overall update of my situation in case others find some part of it helpful. I did end up getting it looked at by a guy locally. He said it mostly looked fine except for my left side rotating group so he swapped that out. That explains a source of some of the brass I was...

All that along with multiple system flushes, filter changes, valve cleaning, two new tracks, and a new drive sprocket. It's running pretty...

    T250 Sound when turning/moving under load

    Quick update just in case anyone is following this, It is possible to get the tandem pump without pulling the engine. I've seen that question asked a few times on the forum, just wanted to let everyone know it is for the T250 and probably is for similar models. I'm not too sure it was worth it...

    T250 Sound when turning/moving under load

    Well unfortunately I don't have any good news. As far as the glitter in my main hydraulic filter, I wish I had taken pictures for you, but it was pretty thick. Small pieces, but when pouring oil out of the filter, it was constant silver glitter almost like glitter glue. If you just have a little...

    T250 Sound when turning/moving under load

    Hello, I recently bought a ~2004 Bobcat T250 with around 2600 hours. It seems to run fine except when turning under load or going up hill. It will make a sort of screeching noise different from a normal hydraulic strain noise. I think it is coming more from the right lever(foot and hand...
