Cpl a314

Hi,

 

I’ve got a cpl (socage) a314. It recently had a hose blew and got this replaced by the local hydraulic place and a few other parts that needed changing but few weeks later after that it seems to have lost its power.

 

Sound like it’s really struggling then when I brought the machine down one day it spewed oil out the filler when it had bubbled in the tank.

 

Now have I got an air leak, wrong oil or is the pump on its way out? The pump when the pto is off does make a metal spinning sound sometimes so don’t know if clutch is gone for the pump. It’s running off a hilux if that makes a difference.

 

Hopefully someone can point the right direction before I have to send it to be fixed. Thanks Tom

Is it a gear pump? Could the hose burst have lost so much oil the pump ran dry? When the pump aerates the oil so much that the foam comes out of the breather it often means air is being sucked in at the input shaft bearing

The pump replaced the air con pump so is ran off the aux belt. If it is constantly pumping air around would that mean it needs the whole system bleeding?

I imagine they put a gear pump with an outrigger bearing to run off the auxiliary belt but if it's sucking air in its toast
