Edited the video down.

Good idea. I've attached some pics here. As you can see, the setup is a little odd as the controls are all inside of this metal bracket, so it's tough to get good pics. I also took a video, but even zipped up I can't get it to post unfortunately. It shows how much "slop" there is in the joystick.

I have actually never had the loader off, and didn't change anything on the linkage.

Nope. It consistently doesn't work correctly regardless of height.

No, it's not a hydraulic problem to the best of my knowledge. It's a linkage adjustment issue. I'm just not sure how to adjust it.

I have a Long 5140 front end loader on my Long 360DTC tractor. The controls for the bucket are now no longer responding correctly (i.e., pushing left should tilt the bucket up but now drops the arms) and clearly need adjustment/repair. I have ordered the operator and parts manuals off eBay to...

My PTO suddenly stopped turning. The switch illuminates the icon in the dash, and the fuse is good. Fluid level is fine. So next is checking the solenoid. Is the black thing on the silver box my solenoid?

Guy at the tractor place looked like a deer in headlights when I brought him the pin I have and asked if they had a match.

Pardon my ignorance, but are bucket pins fairly “universal”? As you can see, I bent the ears on my bucket and then lost one of the pins on my Bush Hog 762H backhoe (long obsolete). If I get a length from the other pin, or bring the other pin in to my tractor place, will they be able to order...

The rubber boot on the controls for my Long/Landtrac 360DTC FEL ripped. Finding the specific part for Landtracs is tough. Anyone know a place I can order a new generic boot by dimension, for example? The base of mine is say, 3"x5" and 7" tall. I've scrolled through hundreds of Amazon listings...

A stick mangled the throttle return spring on my Landtrac 360DTC. Parts for this machine are a bit tough to track down, so I've tried two different Dorman throttle return springs from the auto parts store, and neither has been 'strong" enough: the throttle sometimes gets stuck. Anyone found a...

Got a nice new seat to replace the manky old one on my Long 360DTC. Removed the two front 10mm nuts, but the seat doesn't want to slide to allow me access to the rear nuts. I'm sure the slides are just jammed up with two decades worth of gunk (I haven't moved it in the five years I've had it)...

Hey guys, Resurrecting this absolutely ancient post as I have a follow-up question. I seem to have a weird hybrid early/late serial number 360DTC. I broke my pinion gear housing, and ordered the "early SN" version, only to find it was too small and I needed the later serial number version...

Gentlemen, I am slightly embarrassed but mostly grateful: you were both correct. In the fading light last night, I missed a chunk of a rotting stump that had wedged itself in the linkage. Pryed it out, and all is well. Thank you!

Trying to clear some brush with the bucket after a rain, and ended up stuck a bit down a small hill in my Framtrac 360DTC 4WD. Took 30-40 minutes to work a path through the brush and was just about to crest the hill, when suddenly the clutch went stiff. Could barely move the pedal. No gears...
