Loader controls won't raise loader

[fruitcakesa]

I was picking up a log with the loader when I felt a "pop"in the joystick control and the loader stopped lifting.
I still have curl function and downward movement. I have not opened up the control cover yet.
I was looking for a blow up pic of the loader system but can't locate one; anybody have a link and advice?

I accidentally locked the loader on the MX6000 a few months ago when moving rocks (or could have been the M6060) by inadvertently knocking the lock tab which is shown in the schematic above on part #150. It took me a few minutes to figure out why the loader wouldn't move. I don't remember if you can curl the bucket or lower the loader when the loader is locked. It's probably not that simple but maybe worth a look.

It probably was the MX6000 because I was familiar with the MX6000 open station loader lock but the cabbed version is different and easier to engage without trying to engage it.

It is a broken cable!
Thanks for the diagram, where in the kubota illustrations did you find these pics?
? I need to locate the part number of the control cable so I can order one.
I was mistaken about the loader; it is an 1153 not an 1154. Maybe use the same cables/

Click that link and agree. Punch in LA1153 in the box, that will open a page, click parts.

I went down to the local K dealer and he had them in stock!! They come as a 2 pack, pricey, but I now have a spare as they are both the same.
I had a bit a a hassle getting the cable properly adjusted as too much threading them in or out will affect loader performance.
