Grove RT60S drives, then does not, then drives again

Ichudov-I have an old Grove book with all the hydraulic schematics if you need help with anything. I had two old RT63S machines I kept up and I believe the 60 is in there too.

Sounds like the torque is starving for oil. I know that if I get on a steep enough slope, the 7F I run will go and stop and go again.

There is a suction hose from the bevel gear housing to the converter that may be collapsed or has a flap inside sucking shut...the belly pan has to be dropped for access

The problem, I think, was lack of oil, we added trans oil and it seems to be okay for now. That was the right suggestion! Thanks to all!!!
