Brockport Bill 1,448 #1 Posted February 12 how much noise should there be when engaging the hydraulic lift valve to lift plow, etc? My c175 hydro makes a whine noise at the beginning, middle and end of the lift lever engagement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 11,293 #2 Posted February 12 Depends on what load you have on it. Mine makes noise lifting a deck, but is quiet until reaching the stops with no load. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say that's true for mine with the Big snowplow on it. Many hydraulic systems make a noise of some sort just being operational. At the end of travel it's MUCH louder due to pressure spikes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 40,122 #6 Posted February 12 Try switching to Mobil 1 in the hydro if you haven't already. I had a C-145 that did that and it quieted it down quite a bit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED-Z06 2,190 #7 Posted February 14 Pretty normal to get some whine when moving. At the stops you'll get a pretty pronounced squeal because the system is bypassing the high pressure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
