I have a B2620 with LA364 front loader. Out of the blue the loader only rises half way. It rises the normal speed until it stops, kind of like there is something physical limiting it from rising more. The hydraulics are still whirring when attempting to raise it more. I have inspected all the joints but can't see any physical blockage. Curling works fine both ways with full range. Any thoughts?

Start by re-seating all quick connectors.

Does the bucket work properly?

If re-seating the connectors does not fix the problem and the bucket works properly, swap lift arm hoses for bucket hoses and see if the problem moves.

Thanks Dave, problem resolved by Re-seating the quick connectors. I originally thought about that, but dismissed the thought by thinking that it would not rise at all if it was hydraulics related. Live and learn, I dodged the bullet this time. Thanks again!
