    M7040 hydraulic shuttle problems,

    Does that work? Or are you looking for a different picture? I'm happy to try and take one that helps someone else later.

    M7040 hydraulic shuttle problems,

    Some pictures. The spring is missing about a coil and a half. I had the piece but lost it on my bench somewhere. I suspect it was either jammed or no longer putting the proper pressure on the left most piece, which is a type of spool. The picture installed is as I was in process of removing...

    M7040 hydraulic shuttle problems,

    I disassembled the shuttle valve, and I did find a broken spring. My best guess looking at wsm and hydraulic diagrams, is it was the modulation valve part.

    M7040 hydraulic shuttle problems,

    So not sure what to do, but in my gut the problem is the shuttle valve. It's a expensive valve. Alot to spend and not be sure that is the problem. I thought I would ignore it for a bit, but then decided that I do alot of detail work and I need the tractor to be predictable, safe to creep up...

    M7040 hydraulic shuttle problems,

    Yes, those 3 valves are all built into 1 assembly. Hoping someone with knowledge and experience can confirm. I forgot to say that everything else works good. Steering and pto work well and engages. Loader and 3 point ok. Remotes ok. I have tried searching the site, and can find...

    L525 quick connect conversion

    I have a la680, have been thinking about the l2230 ssqa adapter. But my dealer has a l2216 in stock, supposed to fit a la525 loader. Do you know if this will fit the same as a l2230? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Glow Plug Light

    Just to clarify, my relay was good, but my controller was bad. The controller gives ground to the relay to power the glow plugs. It also grounds the indicator to turn it on. I cut the two ground(control) wires, and hooked to a grounded momentary switch. That way I didn't completely...

    Glow Plug Light

    I have a L3600GST, and it had the same symptoms. The glow light would come on whenever, and stay on for as long as it felt like. Sometimes it wouldn't come on at all. When it didn't come on, it was harder starting. After some research and diagnosis, I determined that my glow controller...

    Ideas for speed bumps on gravel road

    What about a gate? Friends of mine have property that has easement to a bunch of camps behind them. Supposedly they are not required to maintain, just allow traffic, ie. Can't keep people out. During certain times of the year (spring break up, hunting, etc.) they close their gates. No...

    La680 help

    New to me L3600

    I got parts for lights, and they are all working. I checked, the tach cable did spin with the engine, and the hour meter worked. One other note was that the needle was way past max, not at 0. I pulled the panel off to disassemble the gauge, when I turned it upside down, something came...

    New to me L3600

    I didn't check if the tach cable spins, but I did unhook it and the inner cable is in one piece. It's cold and rainy out, so more verification will have to wait. Lights, missing both front bulbs, and sockets. New stuff ordered. Axle seal, lf wheel. I would call it the knuckle to axle...
