I need help! I bought this 1710 with a loader a few months ago. The first time I used it the hydraulics quit after a couple hours. The fluid had a lot of water in it. I changed fluid and filter and it worked great. Then I left it in the rain a few times and it got water in the fluid again. I guess this caused the same problem I started with. I also noticed about this time that the 3ph bounces when I have it up. So I changed the fluid again, but not the filter. I just drained the old fluid out of the filter. Now it seems like it only works good until it gets hot. The 3ph seems to bounce until it gets warm. Does anyone have any ideas? Is this a sign that the pump is going out? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
