Unfortunately I didn't look at it when the problem was happening. Later when I went to change the filter it looked fine, but it was warmer by then. If it was temperature-related, I'll probably have to wait until next winter to see freezing weather again.

Not quite that bad. At times I can replicate the issue by deliberately taking my weight off the seat; other times I can drive for a while with my weight completely off the seat, so it seems like the switch wiring is flaky.

Well, I changed the fuel filter (it didn't look obviously dirty), and the first time afterwards it ran fine, though I didn't put much a load on it. Next time, after some colder weather with temps down to 18F during the night, it was even worse than before changing the filter. It still runs fine...

Thank you all for your suggestions! I went ahead and replaced the fuel filter, and will report back whether that cured the symptoms. Believe it or not, I checked my email and I had ordered two fuel filters in December 2019, but apparently forgot to use them. That means I've gone through several...

Just a few days ago, my 600-hour B2620 started this odd stuttering behavior when the weather got slightly colder (just below freezing). It warms up and idles just fine, but under load, while moving, the engine tries to stop every few minutes. Usually it recovers and starts running again; about...

I am trying to do a 200 hour service on my B2620 and I'm getting confused about the relationship of the transmission filter, the hydraulic filter, and the hydraulic fluid. The manual shows a 200 hour service interval for the transmission filter, with accompanying drain plugs. It also shows a 400...

I finally got around to fixing this; it was crud in the valve assembly at the bottom of the loader control "joystick", as BeezFun and LD1 had suggested. This tractor was used almost exclusively for mowing before I bought it, and the little grass bits had clogged up the whole valve "cup" to where...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm clearing space in the shop so I can bring it inside for its annual maintenance, and I'll give all the ideas a try: new fluid (it's time anyway), check and reseat quick connects, check cup under control valve.

I found today that if I push forward really hard (much harder than I used to), the bucket will lower at its old normal speed. I wonder if the control valve is failing?

In the 4 years I have had it (bought used with 200 hours) I have never been able to get the float feature to work. I have read up on how to do it, but nothing happens.

Over time my LA364 loader (on a B2620) has gotten slower and slower to lower, while raising the bucket seems to be fine. I timed it as 12 seconds to lower from full height down to the ground, and 5 seconds to raise from the ground up to full height. If both directions were slower, I could...

Don't be fooled by that location, though - it's actually the (possibly fake) address of a domain anonymizing service, so the actual owner of the domain could be anywhere. I tracked a Nigerian scammer through a domain registered at this same place. If you google the address, you will find that...

There is also a free Android app from Southwire called Conduit Fill Calculator that is very handy.
