Serious whining noise on my L245DT Kubota tractor. It's only happens when lift the front bucket up and down. We bought it 14th hard or so. I need some help in identifying the where and how to fix it. I don't know much about hydraulics but I am mechanically skilled enough to fix it. I have the service manual and the parts manual. Can anyone help me in fixing it?

My guess is that the whining is coming from the hydraulic pump.

Thanks,
Matt

Help me with that part?!? Have you just bought this tractor? And if so, how are the fluid levels and the quality? May be due for a service.

I have a L345dt mine did same. The spine that drives the pump was stripped out. I machine weld off. Turn it around and welded back on.
