Please help me understand what's going on with my hydraulics

I have attached the 3 pt feedback rod adjustment procedure.

Your loader valve cables need to be properly setup. I have attached WSM pages from a different model loader but most cable operated ones are the same.
In brief, you lock the joystick. Most joysticks have a lock to avoid inadvertent movement when driving. You disconnect the cables at the spool valves (2).

The spool valves with no cables attached will be centered. Now adjust the cables so that the pins connecting the cables to the spools just slide into place.

If a cable is pulling on a spool valve even a little hydraulic pressure will be bled off and downstream hydraulic systems like the 3 pt hitch and remotes will not operate properly.

Dave - thanks so much for this wealth of information. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort you took to respond and provide the detailed instructions for the adjustment! All the best!

I bet if I described it (someone might have already) from another brand manual you'd find the procedure the same for all. It's pretty much twisting a little adjuster on the rock-shaft arm and listening for the growl you hear, then a tweak so the piston won't top out and go into relief. (I fumbled a bit doing this the first time & it took all of half an hour.)

Just reaching from my desk I found this. Procedure is pretty simple. Paragraph 160 tells the story.

You are absolutely correct!! It is/was very easy to adjust. The hydraulic system no longer goes into relief mode with the 3pt all the way in the up position. I greatly appreciate your (and all the others) input. This not only saved me the time and effort to load the tractor and haul it 40 minutes away, but also the dealer service charges I would have incurred for something so easy to fix myself. I am once again, blown away at the knowledge and generosity of this community.

THANK YOU!:drink:

Where did you get these? I have a B2320. Wonder if this would work on mine? Not sure what the measurements would be though.

Look at these pdf pages for B2320

Better to use pages specific to your tractor rather than relying on generic info.

Generic info is great for someone with lots of knowledge but dangerous for others.
