I wondered if it was low on fluid.</p><p>Now that I have removed the front oil cooler for the power steering I see that the fluid that came out is very thin automotive power steering fluid and likely the cause of the issue. I'll replace it with an ISO68 hydraulic fluid that is the equivalent of the</p><p>Case TCH that is supposed to go in there.</p><p>I'm hoping it's not the oil pump or seals, no leaks that I can see and it works perfectly at higher RPMS....<br /></p><p>The cooler broke in half when I unbolted it and lifted it out. I don't think the pipes are cracked, but it might end up being replaced with a cheap generic one if it starts leaking.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

I knew it had a serious rust problem in the cab but apart from that the owner said it was a good runner and was ready to work.</p><p> </p><p>When it arrived I discovered the brakes were not working, I expected as much and it should be a days work to fix them.</p><p>Otherwise it starts and runs well and all the hydraulics operate.</p><p>Until I checkout the oil levels, pump pressures and cooling system I'm not going to be working it.</p><p>Step one is to wash and de-grease it and then put some paint over the rust. <br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyCty9cVU8xVN5neKEb9baES0A54vhDsy4aQtE1TUujKdYR9xUUlQTKH4sCU0YfGAlgFXNtejmCpA8L8LXRxLOJfmR0nZ3Y43j0FUSPY67P7umZKXFJa2AHOLZRu5c0a2sknK/s1280/580c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyCty9cVU8xVN5neKEb9baES0A54vhDsy4aQtE1TUujKdYR9xUUlQTKH4sCU0YfGAlgFXNtejmCpA8L8LXRxLOJfmR0nZ3Y43j0FUSPY67P7umZKXFJa2AHOLZRu5c0a2sknK/w400-h300/580c.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<br />
Google only care about revenue now.<br />
Now Google censor content for any reason that suits them.<br />
It is no longer a free and open platform.<br />
<br />
I'm trying out LBRY.TV by uploading some of my existing videos to see if it is a viable alternative.<br />
<br />
I've been uploading video to Youtube since 2006 but I've never received any payment from Google.<br />
<br />
You can try out LBRY here:<br />

<br />
We still get some great days, but usually with much less height.<br />
On the plus side it is not as rough.<br />
<br />
Sadly here in Western Australia we have restrictions on travel to the wheatbelt due to Covid-19.<br />
<br />
Pretty much the only places I would normally go and fly are in the Wheatbelt.<br />
<br />
Thankfully the kind owners of Serpentine let me fly there.<br />
<br />
It is the only inland site available to me at the moment.<br />
