Float (Detent) Not Working on L3130 Front Loader. Any Ideas??

[Deano]

Is it difficult to disassemble and clean? the "caps" that the ball bearings are under is on top on his loader valve. Hoping that is a blessing??

Deano,

Try searching "Kubota owning and operating" with terms like frozen hydraulics, detent, float, etc. Here's one:

I dont recall the disassembly being difficult, especially if you're prepared for what's in there.

Spread a cloth under the assembly before you take it apart. Those little balls want to run and hide!

Fixed for now. Took off caps and filled with PJ lube for a couple hours. the spool for the "float still would not work. Swapped caps and it now works. Cleaned inside of caps and filled with grease.
Could NOT get the **** snap ring off the cap to disassemble and clean like I wanted. Wierd snap ring, beveled ends, no plier holes.
That is why I say "fixed for now"!
