Looking forward to hearing if you’re happy with the volume/sound of the new muffler. Please share your feedback once you’ve got some seat time in.

Thanks TractorTech. That’s kind of what I figured. I looked at a bunch of different joystick loader valves online - lots available in the $100-300 range. They all seemed about the same, but they all had the power beyond port in the side which won’t work due to the limited space between the...

Yeah...sorry for the vague post, guys. The tractor is a 1991 Ford 2120, with the 7109 loader. It has a Diesel Kiki double spool valve. I was testing with a 5000psi gauge plumbed into the loader boom lift line via a quick connect at the front of the tractor, which has 4 quick connects that...

Troubleshooting main/loader hydraulics on 2120. Pressure should be around 2500. Did pressure test with gauge and pressure shoots up to about 2000 for a second, and then settles down to 1200 after 2-3 seconds. What would cause this? Weak pump, or internal leak in one of the cylinders or in the...

Thank you very much for the info and the insight! Much appreciated.

Redz, I’ll be doing this job on my 2120 this summer at some point. Do you mind sharing the eBay seller’s name and/or part numbers of what you needed?

Well, I had a chance to dig into this a bit today. The throw out bearing and the cast piece it sits on was in fact seized to the carrier tube. I’m assuming from sitting for a long period without use. The clutch disc itself looked nearly new, but the pressure plate will need to be replaced and...

Thanks for all the input, fellas. I'm going to split the tractor this weekend so I can get a better look at things - I figure at this point, whatever repair is needed won't be able to be done through the inspection port... I'll document as I go and report back in case anyone else has a similar...

If I had to guess, maybe 5-10 degrees.

Thanks for the warm welcome TractorTech. Once the pedal gets past the free play, it just feels solid…as in no further movement at all. I disconnected the linkage from the cross shaft which runs into the bell housing and it will rotate back and forth a bit, so it’s not the shaft that’s seized...

Hey y'all - New member here. I just picked up a 1991 Ford 2120 HSS 4x4 loader backhoe at a very good price knowing it needed some work. One of the issues I'm figuring out is that the clutch pedal is "non-operational". The tractor moves forward and backwards with the shuttle, and I can move...
