I played with the decent adjustment, its set toward the slower end, but not closed off. Having a gauge isn't a bad idea anyway (and I don't mind an excuse to get more tools), and now I can find out what the pressure is and if I need to shim the relief valve.

I ordered a hydraulic pressure gauge, going to be a few days before it gets here.

Despite the heavy layer of rust protection (oily grime), that's the selector I moved. When up (turned clockwise), the FEL doesn't work, and the 3 point shows the same symptoms (moves slow & won't lift any weight), when down (counter clockwise), the FEL works.

I meant the block outlet that feeds the hard line that goes back to the 3 point, but I can do the same thing with the Power Beyond line coming back to the block.

Loader is a Kubota BF400G, loader valve has 7 hoses, 3 connect to the block. Unfortunately, I don't have a suitable gauge to check the hydraulic pressure, but I can disconnect lines and check for flow. I can see how much flow comes out of the hard line that feeds 3 pt off the block.

I don't have rear remotes, or anything additional tied to the hydraulics (beyond the FEL). I did check and adjust the feedback lever / position control rod already. That seems to work as I can limit/adjust the max lift height (with no weight on the arms).

It only has the 1 lever, so I'm assuming no draft control. I also played with the lowering speed knob, that does what it's supposed to, but didn't help with the arms not lifting.

My L2550 3 point hitch doesn't want to lift any weight. It will go up (slowly) to full height with no weight on it. With weight (my scraper blade) it only goes up a couple inches, if i lift the scraper blade manually, it'll hold in place (and stay in place if I stand on it). Let it sit overnight...

This got me thinking. I pushed the brakes in and set the lock, the slight tire movement / wiggle didn't change (seems like this is brake issue). I released the brakes and put a clamp on the pedals to hold them all the way up, still no change, got a strap and drug the tractor (in neutral), the...

Its only been sitting in the garage for a few weeks. There's some slight movement in each wheel, akin to gear lash. Doesn't seem like the brakes are stuck (the rear tires don't drag, you can wiggle one or the other and it sounds like its hitting something inside). I'm hoping to get out of work...

I used a jack to lift the rear end, still can't spin either tire. Checked the Diff-lock and that's not engaged. I'll try loosening the bellhousing bolts tonight or tomorrow and see what happens.

I drove the tractor into the garage, so it worked prior to replacing the clutch. The brake lock isn't engaged. Pedals are just sitting down with gravity since the return springs are off, they only pull up about 3/4". Maybe it's the angle of the photo?

I had some time today after work to look at the tractor. I pulled the trans cover and checked the shift forks for trans and PTO. Everything seems good there, counter shafts spin by hand when not in gear, forks are intact and move as they should. I also double checked the linkages, they seem...

The one disc is captive in the assembly and the other goes between the flywheel and the assembly, I don't think it will let you install it backwards as the center hub on that disc sticks out further in 1 direction. Also, looking through the access hole with someone depressing the clutch, I can...

I acquired an older L2550 (non GST) with a slipping clutch last year. Thanks to this forum and the manual, I was able to determine I had a dual stage clutch. Tractor has 4 speeds on the column with high/low lever and shuttle shift fwd/rev. After confirming adjusting the clutch didn't help, I...
