Weak Hydraulics On Cat 304E2CR

Digger111 ยท 2020-07-21 18:19

Our Cat 304 has gotten weak recently, for example it struggles to extend a full bucket of dirt fully forward (really slow) where it used to do it almost instantly. We changed the hydrualic oil filter thinking that might be the problem, but it didnt help. It still digs OK, so something odd is going on. Any ideas?

    Good day Digger I assume from your thread your comment is regarding the power of the arm if so, please extend the arm checking if the ram will creep out- make the same check to see if it will creep away when you tuck the bucket in towards the cabin. Kind regards uffex
