New 20+ plus hour l2501.Now seems to have a squeak in the front end loader when lifting anything. We are not loading anything that heavy maybe some dirt or gravel. Should not be over taxing the loader in any manner. I assume it is a cylinder but not sure how to determine it for sure. All grease fittings are greased ever 10 hours so I know it is not that. Seems like it is on the left side but hard to tell. Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

Grease and move the FEL and re-grease - sometimes the grease does not get around a pin until it is moved. Most of the grease will squirt out at the easiest place to ooze out from.

If the suggestions in the previous posts don't solve it, call your dealer.
20 hrs makes it a newborn. Maybe it didn't get greased when assembled.

Thank you for your replies. I will look at both tomorrow. It doesn't make any noise when empty. Seems to move freely. Hopefully just a grease issue. Love the tractor. Seems perfect for us. As far as the bolts I wonder if they have to be torqued to a specific foot lbs?
