John Deere 790 front loader problem

[sixdogs]

Six dogs the lockout on the selector was the1st thing I checked and that does not seam to be the problem.

When I had my problem I had to fiddle with the thing because what I thought was the center position really wasn't. Before you tear into things again, try a few minutes with that selector. Mine acted just like yours.

Next time I am out at my place I will give it a try again. But I did that already 3 times. Then I am going to switch hoses to see if that helps.,Hopefully the actual selector valve is not bad itself.

Is this fixed yet?

I switched the hoses for the tilt and the lift and the bucket tilted and then I switched them back.
Has to be problem in selector switch. Went down to tractor shop and he said that sometimes on the switch it needs to get taken apart and freed up because moisture can get inside it if not used for months at a time. I do not see how I been using it that way for 6 yrs , especially since I was working with it for a few hours then it jammed up. The odd part is that it tilts about 2 inches and stops as if there was a limit set on switch. This happened after using new tooth attachment on bucket for 2nd time. Maybe worked tilt too hard and blown something inside switch? Bringing it to shop this week. Will let u know outcome.

Before you take it there maybe try something that may have worked for me. I'm not exactly sure because I did a few things at the same time. By selector switch I mean that thing by your right leg/knee that locks the bucket from dumping or the arms from raising or lowering.

On my selector switch I sprayed JD lube and then repeatedly worked the switch in all directions. Then I sprayed oil on it again and kept moving it around. The next time I tried, it worked so I'm not exactly sure what happened.

I had the same problem with my Kubota. Switched the hoses and got the opposite: boom would not raise and lower, bucket would curl normally. In my case, it was a worn quick connector, I replaced it, and haven't had any problems since. I hope your JD is something that simple.

That knob you were turning was probably for the drop rate for the three point hitch.Put a heavy implement on the three point hitch and it may drop like a rock. Put a light implement on and it may float down. Think another way. Put your 50 gallon sprayer on the 3 poiunt hitch and raise and lower it. It may go down slow. Put 50 gallons in the sprayer and it may drop faster. Of course it depends on where the knob is as to how sensitive it will be to load. I have 150 pound implements without water or without seed or fertilzer that weigh a lot more when I am spraying weed killer, spreading fertilizer or seed. 500 pounds heavier when teh spreader is loaded up.

You adjust the speed of the PTO with the engine throttle.

I had it fixed. The 1 quick couplings from the selector switch female side needed to be changed they said. So they changed them all and Between to go over whole machine since it was there. Changed 2 grease fittings and tightened machine up a bit and greased up and etc cost me $850 plus another $150 for pick up and drop off.

Go to John Deere - Parts Catalog. Type in 67 in the model line and see if there were mounting brackets made for a 790. If you Google the part numbers sometimes you can still find parts.
