John Deere 2030

Evening all, currently working on a JD2030 with a hydraulic problem, when steering the outlet pipe from the front pump vibrates and the pump wines. When the arms are lifted or a spool used no vibration or noise from the pump. The steering works fine very light and smooth, recently had a new transmission oil pump fitted but as far as I know not because of this problem. I’m going to test the system pressure but won’t be until next week just wondered if anyone had come across anything similar? Cheers

What type of steering system does it have? Is it PAS with a drop link and three finger link at front axle or hydrostatic with a ram acting direct on the axle?

It has the PAS three finger link just behind the axle

Had a pressure tester and flow meter on this morning and found the max pressure is 1800psi, and the max flow been around 30lpm. Had a better look at it I think the noise and vibration is coming more from the steering column and been transmitted down the pipe work than pump itself.
