Working on ford Jubilee, it has been setting for many years, did and in frame, engine runs good. Hooked it to a 5ft shredder and lifted the shredder, I heard a clatter. My first thought was push rods sure sounded like it, but then we lowered the shredder and the clatter stopped, did this a few more times with the same result. I am assuming the hydraulic pump is shot. All the fluids have been drained and replaced, not too long ago. Also there is a small plate below the seat, towards the right side and front of the seat, it has 5 bolts in it, hydraulic fluid was leaking from underneath the plate. I was going to unbolt it apply some sealer then bolt the plate back. Is there anything I need to watch for when removing the plate? Would y'all agree the pump Is the issue? if not any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
