Thinking ahead to my winter solstice bonfire party next year. Thought I would gather a little wood.

Gates is who i get hydro parts from and though i make my own hoses, the local auto parts shop has the same press and dies and makes hoses for people all the time. DIN included. If you can source the fittings there has got to be a tractor place or something nearby that’ll crimp the ends on for...

Yes, I had that problem and lube was half of the two pronged solution, the other was a new return spring.

One more thing that makes life easier for loader re-installation; grease the upper and lower mounts a little. They tend to stick and hang up just when they should drop into place. Of course you'll use the implement functions to help micro align and jiggle things into place.

I looked at that procedure when I was adjusting mine and decided it was too "army motor pool technician" specific. So I took a good hard look at how the whole thing worked and made a few adjustments. I couldn't tell you now all of what I did (sorry) but one thing was move the pedal position on...

Whoa pump the brakes there super chief. Yes, good info in the TMs. The time to read through the main thread (actually read posts 1 to infinity) is time well spent. Not saying you didn’t. As someone who has removed and reinstalled both, all i would say is have a helper and be careful. When...

My see has a little loop of wire attached to the injection pump side of the throttle linkage. It comes up through a small hole drilled in the cab just behind the doghouse. Functionally it serves as a kill switch the same as pushing the hand throttle all the way forward. Not sure why it’s there...

Those are clearly not vehicle lifting points but only for that piece. Same as the small rings for the side modules. The 3/4" plate eyes front and back that are part of the implement mounts I think are what were used.

Yes, All good points. I did in fact break the front hydraulic drive belt when I reversed the pressure relief valve on the front loader frame. It was badly worn and while I had the belts I had not gotten around to replacing them. Needless to say they all are replaced now. On the interesting topic...

I don't know how I missed your post, but I did. All rpm's is the answer, idle especially, but it's hard to get anything done when you're always waiting on the implement to move. Maybe I'm too used to a Cat backhoe, but no matter what I'm doing, moving snow, backblading, moving ditch spoils...

I have them somewhere. It's an internal gear pump (low noise, med pressure) with I think about 11cc per rev (memory). So pretty small for the application. I'm not sure why they designed it that way, but it's way undersized IMHO. I was thinking about making the pulley smaller to run it at a...

A flow restriction... You’re probably right. Of course that would work in both directions, slowing everything down. I’ve been scheming on replacing the front hydro pump with a higher volume unit ‘cause the loader speed is painful when you’re actually trying to get things done. I’ll see what it...

Ive been playing with check valves and pressure reliefs to boost the stength of the loader. All i want is to lift the front tires off the ground, I don’t feel that’s too much to ask. Anyway, after adjusting the pressure relief at the valve block with no success I removed and installed backwards...

Tilt the hoe up just enough to swing it to the drivers side and use it as counterbalance as you raise it the rest of the way??? Just an idea from a guy who's not even there. Don't feel bad, I got a chained up cat 416 backhoe stuck in the snow today as a matter of fact, and had to pull myself...

I have felt that thunk also. For me it was almost certainly suspension related, and diminished and disappeared after a few miles on the road. I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s a bad shock absorber. Thunking when it’s cold and the oil is segregated, then loosening up as It warms. Best I...

We discussed that a week or so ago I think.

SO jealous of that blade! I can't stand it.

The switch and the lights work fine on my FLU. I'll have to look and SEE how hard it would be to make the backup switch do both. Funny how the switch and the lights are called "back-up' in the diagram, but the "working light" switch is the only thing wired to them. Wellcome ede356. I would...

Are the rear work lights supposed to come on in reverse? My alarm sounds but not the lights in reverse.

Maybe I am miss reading something here, but as I understand it the transmission is in direct or high when operated normally and the air shifter lowers the gear ratio. In other words the air shifter is an under drive not an overdrive. If one were to drive the truck without waiting for air...
