Good news and happy ending to loader dumping slowly issue: I talked to a remarkable fellow at a local hydraulic shop who advised me to remove the back side of the valve, the portion where the spring enters and to check for crud and corrosion. Two 3/16 hex bolts hold it on. Full of crud. Cleaned...

7/8 = 22.225mm I used a 22mm wrench but they could be 7/8. I'll try getting 7/8 caps

22mm

does anybody know what size caps to buy? thanks

that's exactly what I'm saying

I didn't do the test labeled #2 because we determined that the machine had regen. Should I do test #2 ? Test #1 indicated what I think was good flow.

OK I disconnected the base end hose and I got what I believed to be good flow. The bucket still is slow to dump? I tested both cylinders. Same result. Any ideas thanks rob

Thanks Dan

Thanks Dan for your comment. I'll try your suggestion on Monday when I return to the farm. The loader on the L45 is the TL1000. There are no quick disconnects. It appears from the service manual that it does have regen. ( I had to look up what that meant) so I'll start with suggestion #1. When...

Hello all, My L45 front loader recently developed an issue where the bucket is very slow to dump. All other functions of the loader work properly. The oil is newer (about 150 hrs), full and clear. (Kubota oil). I know nothing of hydraulics but looks like I'm about to learn? I'm pretty mechanical...

Nice job. How's it working?

Pretty sure a 9540 will pull a 15ft. mower on level ground. Not sure about stopping at the bottom of a hill. Learning that 4x4 will help. Now I'm learning that new machines are in short supply, there is a 10% surcharge, and they won't be available till spring. Talked to a fishing buddy...
