si=o i have been dealing with a loss of power, engine seems fine, any use of hydraulics cause engine to bog and while tracking it barely wants to travel, today it was worse, im clearing some black berrys and it basically stalled, I figured it got alittle warm so i shut key off and i was standing next to it while off and i heard metal ponging , i looked and the hydraulic tank has bulged majorly , I started it extended the boom and loosened 1 of the fill caps,, it didnt seem to have to much pressure but the damage was done, the tank is bulged about 3", Its fluid level was perfect, 1 month ago i replaced the travel motors and final drives, also drained all fluid and replaced the hydraulic filter, the power has been decreasing for about 1 year now, its like its working against itself, Any suggestions ?
