Brian, In an attempt to decipher the terminology you use (my limitation not yours) I believe the bottom line is to re-attach the draft arm as well as check for the major leak you referenced earlier. This would require the removal and servicing of the whole hydraulic cover if I'm correct? That said, ...

Hello Brian, I was able to get the loader to come down as I mention above in my last reply. So yes something caused it to stick but I have to say that I extended it to max height and I don't think anyone would find that necessary in real world use.....I won't be doing that again for sure. Re: the "f...

Brian, I just had a bright thought and decided to disconnect the hydraulic lines from the loader's cylinders and the loader wouldn't drop. I had to put a come-along (you may have another name for it, similar to a hand winch) to pull the loader down and it released and dropped slowly on its own. Earl...

But I tried to operate the hydraulics without positive results. I made certain the PTO was engaged and the au...

Brian, I appreciate your reply and will address the issues you mention. The PTO, auxiliary service selector and lever on the quadrant are simple corrections I will try immediately. I have noticed no tap on the leader anywhere and by tap I assume you mean like a shut-off valve? There are two issues t...

Hello Rick, thanks for the quick reply. The oil I used is 15/40 diesel oil, new and I filled the case to the dipstick level or maybe slightly higher. (the other thing is have you inadvertently operated the valve which selects TPL or external service under the front of the seat ??) Is the valve that ...
