/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Not sure what the dealer did when they came out to fix my L38 yesterday, but they did fix it. My loader arms, like many others, were frozen in the lift position (-20). They would not come down....Very frustrating, especially when there is 10" of snow on the driveway.
I called the dealer and asked what the they did. Unfortunately, the mechanic who came out was not avaiblable for comment. I will attempt to post the solution(s) when I find out more. The loader is so fast now, it's almost too much. I have to re-learn my feathering technique. It's more responsive in all directions than ever. It seems odd that the speed of the entire loader increased so much. However, I don't know enough about the maintenace/control issues to make a valid guess. The loader was strong before (easily lift the tractor @ just over idle), but not this fast. My RPMs were just under 2000 when I tested.
More to come.......Hopefully the solution will apply to your frozen hydraulics too.
