case 1816 hydraulics

[casesergelman]

Hello, my 1816 just got up and going after i finished up the motor work and what not,now it has a 20 horse kohler in it. My hydraulics are pretty weak on it, it wont hardly pick up a full bucket. The belt seems fairly wore, would that cause this? Or is there any way to turn up the hydraulic pump or is it just getting wore out? thanks

belt needs to be in good shape and tight, if I remember right it should have a test port on the bucket lift and tilt cylinder's elbows you could screw a guage in and check it, you should be able to lift the rear wheels off the gound no problem, I have seen a worn pulley allow excessive slippage too, can you see the pulley turning? if you can have some one roll bucket back and hold lever and release and see if the pump drive pulley slows down cnt
