I have an old Cat 930 in my shop that has come in for its annual service for a customer and there has been a complaint of a whining noise on this machine when the boom/bucket is in use.
We have serviced this machine for over three years now and have not had many issues with it. The complaint is that when the boom or bucket function is engaged the hydraulics whine. I have verified the complaint and it is quite pronounced. The functions do not need to be over relief to begin whining and will whine almost immediately if the engine is at higher rpms when running them. We have removed and cut open the hydraulic filter and there was not any contamination to speak of inside of the filter pleats.
We installed a new hydraulic pump and still no improvement to the whining noise. It has a third function but it is not in use and the handle has been cut off at the base. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as to where to focus our search.
