Fast forward a couple years... Reverser is still working great.. Replaced the cooler relief valve... Only to find the cooler was almost completely plugged.. Blew it out with air, flushed it out really well in both directions.. Changed fluids and filters again... Now it whines a bit a HIGH...

UPDATE: Changed fluid to SUDT2 and new filters of course.. Also changed front axle fluid also SUDT2, center section and knuckles.. All fluid had a metallic sheen, no big chunks though..Is this common? After fluid change all hydraulics were smoother and nicer overall.. But the whining noise...

Hyjacking his thread... I bought an 07 M9540 with around 2000 hours last year about this time... I didn't pay very much as it was at a green dealership and they wanted it GONE. It needed new front tires and a little TLC... It worked fine last summer, but it was making a hydraulic whining at...
