La525 on my l3301 uneven lift

[Richc]

Once upon a time I was working clearing brush and a branch pushed up the right quick disconnect handle thus allowing the bucket to dangle off the left side, since then the right side always lags just a bit when lifting. Is this a torque issue on the fel frame or is there an adjustment to dial both sides in so they work in together. Any one else have this issue or know of a fix?

The left side lifts approx one half inch before the right lifts

Rich there is a good chance one of your quick attach mounting 'plates' has been twisted during your incident and it takes about 1/2" of take-up play to get them to 'sync up' again & lock securely. Since the hydraulics will move the cylinder with the easiest resistance first, you will see that side move first until the FEL frame takes over and the entire FEL unit moves as one.

Yep the SSQA is out of sync.
Search the forum for ways to line it back up.

A half inch is really nothing to worry about..

Thanks for the responses, yes I actually took off my quick attach from the tractor and laid it down, that’s where I could really see the twist. Although after viewing others with similar issues I realized and as you mentioned half inch is nothing in the big picture. Now at least I know where the uneven issue lies. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so when I would see one side move slightly before the other I became curious. Thanks again.
