When I go out to move snow in very cold weather (sub-freezing) I have a problem dumping the bucket on my LB400 loader. All other functions work fine but I cannot get the bucket to roll forward. When I press the control lever to the right it does not move at all, like it hits something. The lever moves freely in all other directions and all the other loader functions (raise arms, lower arms, roll bucket backwards) work fine.
After operating the tractor for 20 minutes or so there will be a tiny bit of movement when I press the control lever to the right and the bucket will very slowly roll forward. Over the next five minutes the control lever will loosen up and the bucket will dump at normal speed and all will be working normally.
i have not had this problem in moderate temperatures. I will add that the tractor, an L-2350, is about 30 years old.
So what do you think is going on here, and how can I fix it.
Many thanks.
