Loader Branson 2910/ BL10 Loader Valve Replacement

[gsgator]

With that info, I would pull the rubber boot on the joystick and look closely at the linkage. Maybe a loose bolt or broken bracket. If the person used the joystick as a handle to get on or off the tractor, or got his jacket or something hung and put extra weight on it, something could be broken.

There was a guy that posted some time back that he got hung up on his joystick and actually bent a spool. I found that hard to believe and told him so. Turns out he did bend a spool causing his issues. You never know.

Thanks for the advice/ info

I own 2910i with BL10 loader, my bucket did the very same thing, I had replaced loader joy stick and valve, then my brother suggested I find a machine shop and ask about rebuilding cylinders on bucket and joy stick control . If when you remove cylinder and rod falls out instead of staying inside cylinder tube, the cylinder is bad, mine was, so I took both cylinders,even though the right one stayed retracted,best to do both. I paid about 250 for both,and about 150 to have joy stick valve rebuilt, I was very pleased. The cylinders are metric. The loader would lift, the bucket would tilt if I held joy stick,then that didn't work, so by loader lifting most likely loader joy stick control valve is not the problem, the bucket cylinder 's seals and wipers are bad, if rod isn't bent, rebuilding in my opinion is way to go. Thanks

I finally got the tractor all back together and it’s running like new. The issue was the seals in both cylinders. After changing them, the steering cylinder started dumping fluid so I had it rebuilt. After all that, it got all new fluids and all new filters. Thanks for the advice and feedback.

if you dont mind me asking GS where did you have your steering cylinder rebuilt at? i've been looking for a good shop capable of doing so for our Service department for a while now.

Silliman Fluid Power near the airport in Sarasota. They have great service and do good work. Turn around time was about 4 business days.
