Noisy hydraulics John Deere 855

[pagegw]

Hello;
My 855 has developed a noise in the hydraulic system. The tractor has 1600 hours on it.It sounds like it is mostly in the steering. I call it a gurgling sound when the steering wheel is turned. Has anyone with an 55 series compact tractor seen this before? I took it the the dealer, they could not locate the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks;
Gary

Welcome to the Forum.
Some more info would help..

Did you put all 1600 hours on the 855?
Also, have you detected anything different in the way the 855 steers? Anything more than the sound it makes? and is the sound the same regardless of engine rpm ?
History of your oil and filter changes might help too.

Add your location to your profile.. don't know what country you are from, and there are TBN contributors around the world..

Thanks, Yes I have owned this since new. I have changed the fluid 3 times in its lifetime.Also changed the filter each time and cleaned the screen. Yes, you can feel the noise/vibration in the wheel. It is noisier at lower RPM.
