Hey guys,, anyone out there have any dealings with an ole 544b wheel loader, ive got one that is giving me hyd issues dealing with the bucket up an down function, my customer has an loader with forks on it instead of a bucket, well they load fresh green cross ties onto rail cars, an the loader don't seem to have any lifting power,, if ya dead head the tilt function an then pull the bucket up control valve it then helps the loader raise function lift on up,, kinda like it is has resolver issues like cat equipment does, I have even replaced the load check valves in the bucket lift control circuit, didn't make any differ either, I even have a extra control valve off a 544a model an it didn't make any change in opperations, still tilts back an forth fast like normal but still have to use both tilt an lift valve together to get the forks to lift the load upward like normal,, an when load is in the air the cylinders do drift down real slow,, I know that I do have internal cylinder leakage due to the drifting down,,,im going to pack both lift cylinders before its all over an down with but I really don't think the packing that's worn isn't why my lift function is acting up,,, I even wondered if the lil hyd pump that feed my control valves that's mounted on front of trains. has some were in it . any ideas anyone.
