Hydro issue ??

[flushcut]

So I’ve been putting the mini back together and have an issue with one of the final drives not going forward only reverse. The other side is fine and normal. Pump is pushing at the pump and to the motor. Any suggestions?

Oh, no, not and Ambi-turner!

Good luck!

Missing key in the motor keyway?

do the motors have a case drain?
might have drain and forward hose mixed up?
me and hydraulics dont get along...

My motors only have two connections. Forward and reverse guessing.
Directional handle tells the fluid which way to go.
I wonder if your valve is pugged on the one side for the directional flow. Hope someone did not leave a plug in it after trying to keep foreign objects out before assembly.

It’s all connected right. A few guys I have talked to are all leaning towards air which is not surprising. So gonna bleed lines and make the mess even bigger tomorrow.

 

[BlackSmith]

Connect both lines together and let it flow.

After lots of bleeding it may be dirt up in the motor.

did you have the motor apart by any chance?
does it build pressure ( engine lug/hydro whine?)

 

[flushcut]

No we didn’t open up the drive motor.

Check the pressure line to the motor with gauges for psi and flow?

 

[BlackSmith]

These are a big help keeping dirt out.

I do not have a pressure gauge, yet. Lol

I'd steal the one on my 7.3 to lend you, but its a hell of a drive and you can probably pick one up local 😁

Don’t tempt me!
I have a loaner tomorrow that I am picking up.

I’d dip out right now if I had a choice.
