This group is awesome, really appreciate all the responses/suggestions. I did change the hydraulic fluid and washed out the screen while I was addressing the bolt issue. It was fairly clean, much to my surprise. That said, I haven't run it much since I got the bolt fixed, maybe I'll put a...

Just checked again. Mine doesn't even idle at 800 RPMs if the gauge is correct, it will start cutting off at around 1k RPMs if I try to get it that low. Also, noticed that when I do run it at 2kish RPMs and use the FEL, it drops about 300-500 RPMs. Is that normal? In general, the engine seems...

That was my suspicion. Need to research more on how to narrow down/troubleshoot the issue though.

Ah, good to know. I haven't run anything on the PTO, yet to aquire a PTO implement.

Thanks for confirming, I wouldn't have thought the RPMs needed to be that high. The 3 point is really smooth (nothing on it though), the FEL is fairly smooth, but have to have the RPMs above 2k for it to not bog down. Another thing I noticed is if I curl the bucket and once it hits the stops if...

Thanks! Just replaced the air filter, but will check the intake tube, etc. Exhaust is clean, no problem there and starts with no issues. I did put 15W40 in it :( when I changed the oil. Man.. Hate to think that could cause the engine to bog when using the FEL. Sadly it's even just under it's...

On a separate note - When I'm at 2k RPM's (which sounds fairly high rev'd to me) and use the front bucket, the engine seems to struggle. Am I just at too low of an RPM? It just seems like I'm constantly having to adjust the throttle in order to keep the engine happy. I've changed the fuel filter...

Ok, phew... The multi-week saga has (atleast for this part) finally come to an end. This morning I was able to break out the rest of the bolt from it's resting place :). Re-tapped the threads and now will start the process of cleaning the rest of the bolt holes and putting things back together...

@Johndeere3720 - Thank you!! Very much appreciated.

To update - I ended up partially removing the FEL the other night in order to get better access to the snapped off bolt. I used some 2x4's and jack stands to stabalize things, while not fully removing it from the tractor. It looks a bit dodgy, but it's pretty stable. Sadly to get directly on...

Thanks - I was wondering about the best way to keep the FEL in alignment. I'll see if I can find a good way to create a pipe stand of sorts. Appreciate the tip on the hydraulic lines, I've not dealt with them before, but figured because they were not quick connects, fluid would just drain out...

It is a OEM loader, however it's not the one with a leg on it. And unfortunately also do not have quick disconnect hydraulic links.. I wish though!

Haha, yeah pretty much what my better half told me.. She was stating how we are going to have a new tractor by the time I'm done and this thing is running :D

Thank you for this! I'm starting to realize that I'll likely need to remove the loader in order to get this bolt out :(. I have soaked the bolt/hole with Deep Creep for 24 hours, still not even budging. I tried to get heat on it, however the 2 mounting plates are not allowing much of the heat to...

Thank you all for the great information. I went to try again and when tightening the banjo bolt down, the inner bolt just snapped right off. It felt a little weird last night when I was retightening, guess that should have been a sign. Welp, now I get to find another one of those.. Hoping I...
