You are spot on!! The connector latch is a little sketchy. Meant hit send last night.

thanks. Will try as soon as I get home from dinner!! Biy I hope that is it.

Hello wise forum. Hoping you can assist again!! Doing a landscape project and turned tractor off for an hour to adjust boulders. Upon returning it would not start - ie would not crank. All lights bright and dash works, glow plug light works. It is like there is a safety switch open and locking...

On new delivery make sure grease is coming out of all hinge points and that no grease fittings are painted over. I had lots of problems with dealer in the peach state ( clearly didn’t do dealer prep, no proactive communication during buying process , zero technical guidance over phone because...

Thanks. Will advise. I have 2 that are solid orange, both in key heavy load pivot points.

It is still under warranty. While I had the dipper cylinder decoupled I was not able to move dipper arm because the bucket was supported by the ground. Previously with no pressure and engine off and pulling dipper lever I was able to move Arm +| - 2” from a resting position and no noise...

Better and more direct link attached. Noise starts as dipper is lowering. Will wipe off piston rods. Thx sidecarflip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pf74rdiw1nf2icr/Backhoe%20noise.mp4?dl=0

Thank you GreensvilleJay, Henro and Pokey1416 for such quick replies. Will investigate through these ideas. I think I have video fixed. See what you think. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pf74rdiw1nf2icr/Backhoe%20noise.mp4?dl=0

Hello all - I need your help and am new to this forum. I just purchased the tractor new and am having, what I believe, is a strange noise from the dipper stick movement. The noise happens 80% during extension and 20% during retraction, at all levels of throttle and whether right after start up...
