Had a pull this weekend with my 966, different set of tires, clay track, good bite, only one problem. Rolling along just fine, from the seat, it looked like the tires stopped for a second, then it grabbed a hold again and the front end went up, put my footprint on the moon, wet myself, chirped the turbo, came back down. Everybody says it was the TA. Went back around hooked again, this time with TA on low side never hiccupped once. Checked the lube pressure at the oil tellite port, 22 psi, down to zero when clutch pushed in, back to 22 psi when the clutch is let out. Put guage on the power steering safety relief valve port, and read 250 psi whether in low or high side. took it out on the hill in road gear, mashed on the brakes and guage still held 250 psi on both sides. Just need to know if TA is out, do I dare run another pull and do it in to be sure, run on the low side, or quit dreaming and just buy a new TA. If thats the answer, so be it, now where is the best place to get one, and what is the best to get? Priced a HD hy-capacity at dealership, $666.
One more question, Dad was spraying today with his 1086, started growling in the high side, and even pulls down the engine some, when he runs on the low side its perfectly quiet. When he pushes in the clutch on the high side, the growling stops. He said every once in a while it would clunk and jerk too. With a sprayer, that"s not much of a load, any ideas here?
Thanks in advance, Hoss
