UPDATE, I decided to just go for it and hope it was the front pump. I ordered a new pump and just finished installing it. OMG!!! At idle the boom and bucket were MOVING! I had gotten the machine at 1600 hrs and it’s never been this powerful. Very excited for the long weekend to put it to...

I removed the filter screen. The o ring on it is very worn down and loose so ill order a new one. The screen had a little gunk, but nothing too crazy. On Monday I’ll swing by parts store to make adapter to hook up pressure gauge.

Ok, I’ll order needle valve, some hose and the T.

Yes both of these suction side filters were replaced. I probably have to remove the seat and the floor to really get access to the top of those lines as see if they are cracked.

I ordered the gauge, I’ll have to figure out which adapter I need to hook into the outputs. Regarding the suction filter. I wanted to confirm this is the one we are all talking about. Ignore the wet bottom…

I’m looking for a pressure gauge to buy, anyone have a link of one they’d recommend?

I saw this too, however mine does not have the valve operated self level. It just has the mechanical linkage from the bucket to the control lever. Basically it's just a rod that pushes the control lever to the right to curl the bucket down.

I'm going to order a pressure gauge so I can test what Dan is recommending, I see the point of the methodical approach. The really weird this is that when the tractor is cold I seem to have more power, as the oil warms up this is what I end up with. Video of loader failing to go up...

Dan, Is this the relief valve you’re talking about? Just want to make sure we’re both talking about the same. Smokey, Yea I didn’t really know about that screen until recently. That’s the one that’s on the right side of the transmission case? Regarding the levers and quick connects. Yes I did...

So I took out the relief valve, but is the little nipple inside supposed to be in or out? In short, yes I looked at it, but I don’t necessarily know what I’m supposed to be looking for on it.

Hi all, first time poster long time lurker! I have an L48 and I’m experiencing a bit of a weird issue. I have several “data” points to mention, I don’t know if they’ll make sense, but the end all problem is that I don’t have full power on the bucket. After a while I can’t raise it at all, even...
