I'm not sure if I am posting this thread correctly.
My new (to me) L2550 loader is having a control issue that seems to be a familiar theme. The loader control wasn't raising the loader correctly - i had to find just the right spot to get it to go up. The down pressure forward position also started to crunch and the lever had to be pushed through a slight stop position in order to lower.

Today I pulled the valve, cleaned it out and reset everything. Also changed hydraulic fluid and filter.

The control is better, but not correct. Up is still sporadic and the down still doesn't have down pressure.

if anyone could furnish some direction and perhaps a source for a re-build kit, that would be appreciated.
Thanks.
