Okay, fellers. Haven't been here in quite a while cause I haven't needed too but she's got me stumped NOW!
1. FEL slower and slower to lift over last year. FEL will drop overnight if left up. Curl is fine.
2.will not lift at idle and very slow at high RPM
3.swapped hydraulic lines at control valve and problem swapped sides.
4.was going to park in barn to remove lift cylinders for o'haul and made baffling discovery:
When I picked up the bush hog on the 3 point, then picked up the FEL, FEL picked up at normal speed. It would not go down with the 3 point UP.
After lowering 3 point, FEL went down normally but went back to slow lift.
5. So I know it's a leaking valve somewhere, but no idea where to begin.
WHAT YALL THINK?
Finally got around to t-shooting this thing. Swapped the lines at the control valves. Problem did not swap sides. Curl works on both controls, so the lift cylinders are at the hydraulic shop for a rebuild. Unfortunately, just talked to the shop and they are having a time getting them apart. He's been soaking them in solvent for a couple of days and will try again this weekend. He advised to go ahead and try to source some more cylinders, so if you know of anybody who has any for a Koyker 110 off the top of your head, I'd appreciate it. Looks like new ones are about 6-$700 a piece.
You are directly contradicting yourself making it VERY difficult to advise you.....since at this point I have no clue what the tractor is doing or not doing and it seems you dont either
If your loader is leaking down overnight you have a valve problem. Rebuilding the cylinders "may" slow it down....but they are not the root cause of that problem. They MAY be the cause of slow lift though. And rebuilding them cylinders will have no effect on the 3PH, or rather how the 3PH is effecting the FEL.
