My hydraulics have not been working or working very slow and pump screams when trying to operate thought I'd start at basics and change filters. I found a lot of string and rubber pieces at filters. I believe most lines are steel braided not string. I did find 2 pieces of regular style rubber hose at pump suction line but when I squeeze it it feels solid. Anyone have this happen before
I would pull those suction hoses and see it they are coming apart inside, the inner jacket can come loose with the outside still hard and suck it together causing a low flow issue.
I'll be pulling lines off tomorrow but could the gears in the pump have string caught up in them since it's the suction line?
on what machine is this?
79 international 270 a 80 Hp diesel 14000.lbs
I don't know your machine but the old Ford's had a screen in the hydraulic tank. It would plug and cause the same symptoms.
