bucket won't rotate

[scottjetbob]

I have a NH TC30 with a 7308 FEL. The loader will raise and lower but the bucket will not rotate at all. When I raise the bucket it will stay at that level but the bucket just drops down as if to empty, but the valve has no effect either way. Where do I start trying to figure out what is wrong? Thanks for any help on it

Does your FEL joystick connect to valves with cables? Maybe cable became unattached?

Good luck.

Never mind, looks like joystick is on loader calve on TC30s. Make sure all your QDs are firmly seated.

the joy stick is attached with bars of some sort. the joy stick does activate the valve but does not rotate bucket

 

[scottjetbob]

will check those tomorrow

Scott;

If all your quick disconnects, at the valve set are seated, figure out which pair are for raise/lower cylinders and which pair are for bucket curl down/up. Then swap and see what happens. When you swap and problem changes to raise/lower bucket problem is in valve set.

Good luck.

I have a similar question on a NH 820 TL with joy stick and center remote hook up.
When I try to back drag the bucket in a vertical or almost vertical position the bucket just curls up with no resistance
to the ground unless I move the joy stick.
Is this normal for a joy stick operation?

My 20 year old Dunham Lear, monted on a Ford 3910 is connected to the rear remotes and has two levers. One for the bucket and one for the arm lift. I can tilt that bucket down to any position including back beyond 90 and it will stay in place while back dragging or forward digging without any action to the lever.

Ditto what rlgustafson said - check QDs and reseat.

Plug a gage into the work port QD's and see if you have pressure. If so,then the QD's are not connecting.
