4230 Hyd. Noise Update

Trans pump was the culprit to the strange noise. Never would of guessed a brass bushing would make that noise. Tore the old pump apart and found a crack in the bushing, and it was worn a bit. It had the sound of a bad wheel bearing when reved up past 1200rpm. Was a relatively easy job, I made a mount that bolted to the rockshaft housing and used my cherry picker to lift it off. Put new cab mounts in while I had the cab loose. Now I just need to figure out how to post pictures. Only thing left to trouble shoot is it has delayed steering to the right. Only seems to happen after you road it for awhile. It will turn, but you can have the steering wheel all the way to the stop and it will take the actual wheels about 5-10 seconds to turn all the way.. I am guessing the steering valve needs to be overhauled?! I already tried bleeding the system for air. Thanks for all your help guys!
 
Greenmachine, did the new cab mounts help with the noise? Could you post again once you have a few hours on it?
I have two tractors I am thinking of renew ing the cab mounts on. I may even fab new mounts to accept the isolators used in the new tractors.
 
Not sure if it made a huge difference, they were not worn horribly. Seems to have killed some of the vibration in the cab and it does shift through the ranges better. Yeah the old style mounts are not cheap.
