I have a 2002 Kubota B 2710 and the float is not engaging. Have have cleaned off the shaft and sprayed some oil on it and nothing. Was wondering if anyone knew why this might not be clicking into the indent. Thanks for any help.

On my Kubota, I found that the little spindle (spool) that the two spring loaded balls ride over to lock into the float position, had two groves worn into it. I ordered a new spindle for $50After I replaced the spindle it occurred to me that a small washer under the spool would have rotated it enough so the balls rode in a different path. I hope that if that is your problem, you can fix it for the price of a washer.
Adding a washer behind the spool will change the distance spool travels to get into detent. The porting in the spool and valve may not line up, could cause the valve to either still be in down pressure when in detent or in between the down and float so loader is locked in place.
