Quick attach problems

[The B-man]

Hi, I have a new L3301HST with a LA525 loader (25 hours). I was using my bucket to clear some fallen trees and noticed that my bucket all of a sudden was hanging precariously. I lowered the bucket and attempted to reattach, but I’ve noticed that one of my two load arm attachment pads isn’t even with the other. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get these arm/pads to become aligned. I cannot of course reattach my bucket.

Thanks,
Barry

LA534 Loader hydraulic arms extending uneven

Hello, New guy here,,,,,,:) I have a B2650 with LA534 with quick connect. When I went to put on my snow plow a few weeks ago I noticed that it looked like it did not line up evenly. I figured it was just the uneven ground but I put i on a level part of my drive way today and took...

One of the threads on here about your issue, not the same tractor but same problem. Couple other threads, search SSQA sync. Can’t offer much more help as I dont have one

There should be steel between them, which probably got twisted when the one side popped off. Remove the bucket completely and then curl back all the way until both hit the stops. That should align them. If one is springs back, you may need to put a block of wood between the stop and the more-curled side and then try again to "untwist" the steel joining them. Use caution and small movements in a trial-and-error approach to ensure you don't go too far.

In a system where there are 2 hydraulic rams doing the same thing at the same the rams can get out of sync. Remove the bucket completely. Raise the fel about 2 feet. Then operate the curl function all the way BOTH WAYS 2 complete times. Then you should be back in sync. If not then do the same thing with the lift and lower function. It should all re-center itself.

I twisted my spreader bar when a limb came through my grapple and lifted one side. I had to cut out the bar and replace it with solid stock. Not a bad job if you can weld. If the cylinders are not out of sync this might be a solution
