My "reply" isn't a direct reply but a related question. I have a Lane Shark and used it last summer with a WR Long 3rd function with the C-Flow kit that provides a return bypassing the 3rd function spool valve. [It also has a loader handle with buttons for regular 3rd function operation and a...

I have a 3901 and my loader joy stick doesn't come close to bumping the steering wheel, but it's mounted entirely differently so that's not relevant. Looking at pictures of B2650 it seems that the cab model stick is taller than the open station. FWIW, when I added the C-Function kit to my WR...

An easy way to avoid TF shut off when bumping the steering wheel: turn the knob so the buttons are on top. That should be easy to do by backing off the screws that hold it to the joy stick. The wire loom running down the joy stick will be twisted a bit but you should be able to sort that.

Another poster on Orange Tractor, Carroll DuVall ( https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/fel-valve-problems.65560/ ), had a problem with the same valve in his spool valve on a different loader. The Yw368-93100 was listed for his loader but he ran into the discontinued problem. He...

So the paper work and the decal agree. I don't know exactly what part is being sent to me today, my supposed expert did have the spool valve model and serial so he could have ordered the correct valve. How can I have an R number for a 2016 loader and you have an F number for a 2021 loader?

According to my 2016 sales contract, my LA 525 serial number is R6038. But my tractor and loader are older than yours so that number doesn't seem right. SN's starting with A must mean early machines and mine was sold 2 years after the L3901 was introduced. Unfortunately, the decal showing the...

I had thought about using the bucket check valve, but having the bucket sorta out of control would have been worse than the boom. I have to load horse manure from a pit then dump it into a trailer to haul to a veggie farm. Not having tight control of the bucket would have meant s**t falling all...

I have one on the way this morning but was going to wait to announce until it was in my hand. Remembering from old motorcycle days, I know some dealers in a large network will likely have NOS of items no longer listed by the mfg. So I called Marshall's, my local dealer, yesterday and asked the...

I will be careful. I think I can manage it even if the cycle time from poo pit to dump trailer is longer for each bucket load. Thanks for your advice. Still looking for a replacement check valve. Early this morning thought I had one, Bane-Welker web site said it was in stock and took my order...

Dan, is there harm in using the loader without the check valve? I mean other than dropping something that isn't meant to be dropped. I think I can manage the bad behavior loading the manure that really, really needs to go to my farmer friend - our poo pit is much overloaded!

Now Ebay says "Page cannot be found" - merde and scheiss and all that.

I forgot to say that Dan correctly diagnosed the problem being the check valve on the boom side of the loader valve. Once more: Thank you Dan!

Well that "tomorrow" came with COVID so I have been out of order for a few weeks. I finally looked into the check valve and it wasn't there. On removing the cap, there was just a hole. That didn't seem right so I opened the check valve cover for the bucket and there was one there. So it seems...

Sorry for not responding earlier. I have been out of tractor bidness a few weeks thanks to a case of covid. OK now and happy to supply any details you wish. Tube size? Connection to Kubota brand sunshade? Mounts for lights? Electrical supply from battery to fuse box on one post? Rear view...

I did exactly what you asked about in the first post - square tubes as front posts. Started with stock Kubota sunshade. Last pic shows amateur overbuilding - my square tube is overkill. My tractor is a L3901, not an M. I can still remove the loader but it would be a real PITA! All attachments...
