Re: 430 Loader NOW right!!

Ok, here it is...

When I picked up the loader, the tech gave me some pointers to watch out for.

When things went awry, I checked the hydro level; it was low, so I topped it off, and things got better. It acted like a bubble in there, so I kept cycling it.

Still it wasn't right. But each time I used it it seemed to get a little better.

I tried switching the lines (everyone kept saying the lines are crossed.) I only got worse. Besides all the functions went in the right directions, just were quirky.

My break came when I found out about an orifice used in my loader for the 4210, which has lower hydraulics. No orifice. I broke open every connector to be sure. The loader worked BETTER. But not right. Some break!

WOW! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

In a last ditch effort I tried evey possible hose swap.

I guess I had never swapped the red and black lines.

That would be Head End Bucket for Rod End Lift.

OK, so I;m an I-D-I-O-T

You all were right.

Bye.

Re: 430 Loader NOW right!!

Congrats on sticking with it. Better than the red face when the tech has to show you the hoses are wrong /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
And I can file the experience you had in my "one more thing to check" mental list.

Re: 430 Loader NOW right!!

I could see me making the same mistake. I will keep your experience in mind if I ever remove my loader.

At least we'd both be red - he's the one who mis-plumbed it... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


I kept thinking SOMETHING would go backwards if they were crossed.

I thought those went to the positive and negative poles on the battery /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif -- does the starter turn backwards now?????

Congrats. Funny how easy it is to overlook something simple /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif.
