have a couple questions on my machine. i noticed when i first bought it that when you put the safety lever down something in the hydraulics starts to lightly whine. didn't know what it was, but cought wind that this was not normal. as this is my first machine i wouldn't have known. now that it colder out, it seems to be worse, i assume cause the oil is cold and it has to work harder to pump it. everything functions correcly, nothing is at the end of the stroke, nothing tries to keep moving on its own. any thoughts on what this might be? or where to start looking for something out of the ordinary?
also, the machine is plumbed for aux hyd. i believe that it is plumbed for 2 dierectional flow by looking at the foot peddle in the cab, and comparing it to the book. in reading the book i think there should be a elec switch to run a flow control valve to get oil from both pumps which i cannot find in the cab in the usual 'extra' switch spot. when i move the peddle nothing... dont even hear the hum of it trying to move any oil. hoses dont dance or anything. what do you guys think??
thanks!!
