Can someone with a shim please post a picture of it and also measure the diameter and post that? Do the shims have a hole in the center (like a washer)? If so, what is that diameter? Thanks.
You are right the manifold is what I meant to say. I don't think there are shims at the manifold. I read where pressure is determined in the tractors main hydraulics and is not adjustable at the manifold.Probably not on your valve. Most arent. They are on the main manifold where the filter is located.
Most just use a #10 machine screw washer. Looks just like any other washer.
Put a gauge on it first. And make sure you dont over do it.
I've had my L3600 with a LA680 loader for about 20 years and have always felt like the loader should perform a little better than it does. Everything operates just fine but it never has felt like it lifts as much as it's capable of lifting.
I read through this thread last night and there's lots of good info. I have decided to find a gauge, check the pressure and see what it actually is. My loader manual says that the max pressure is 2490#.
When I check it, if the pressure is low and if I wanted to increase the pressure to safely gain some lift capacity, what would you all recommend setting the pressure at?
