    Loader - LA271 - Deadzone at full lift

    This is what I did. I left everything on the tractor. A bit of tight quarters, but it was doable.

    Loader - LA271 - Deadzone at full lift

    Ok, I'm back and I think successful. I disassembled the lift valve and wire brushed a bit of corrosion that had overtaken the spring. The balls all looked good. Tricky to get it back together, but with a helper it was not too bad. The LA271 Workshop Manual has good cross-sections in it that...

    Loader - LA271 - Deadzone at full lift

    my B7300 crushed by a tree

    Pretty sure it is totaled. Tractor has 150 hours or so....i've owned it since new. Its like losing a family member. What should I be getting from insurance for this? It has the Kubota Loader and Kubota Backhoe. Good shape, kept in a shed. I'm so bummed.
