    LA1153 front end loader goes up 4 feet and stops, not QC

    I thought everyone would enjoy my misery and pain. I CAUSED ALL OF MY TROUBLE! I burned up the electric switch on the third function valve back in the spring. I was using the auger and shaking dirt off of the auger by changing directions quickly on the electric switch. This caused the switch...

    LA1153 front end loader goes up 4 feet and stops, not QC

    Thanks for the thoughts. It was the first thing I did. If it doesn't start then does it have fuel. It ended up being the third function valve malfunctioning.

    LA1153 front end loader goes up 4 feet and stops, not QC

    The problem was in the third function valve. I'm not sure what it is, but when I took the third function valve out of service the FEL works perfect. There are two paths for fluid to return one is through the T port that goes back to the transmission. This is the return path for when the...

    LA1153 front end loader goes up 4 feet and stops, not QC

    The problem started after I tried to unload this camper (picture attached) out of the back of my truck with 8 foot pallet fork extensions.

    I replaced the loader valve due to the issue described above and ignorance. I just thought the valve had washed out in some place and once the pressure got too high it would stop going up. I was in a hurry to unload a camper so I threw the part at it. I'm pretty confident I have the lines...

    LA1153 front end loader goes up 4 feet and stops, not QC

    The problem started before any work was done. I did replace the control valve and messed up the lines initially (who knew hydraulic fluid would remove sharpie). However they are back in their original position. Up and down, curl and uncurl are all functioning. It just will raise 3 or 4 and...

    LA1153 front end loader goes up 4 feet and stops, not QC

    I have a Kubota M7040S with a LA1153 front end loader on it. The boom will raise about 4 feet off of the ground and then stops. If I curl the bucket it will go ahead and continue to rise. I've taken loose all of the Quick Connects and reassembled, but I'll probably do it again this evening...
