la302 cylinder upgrade

lauerboers · Mar 1, 2010

I have a la302 loader and would like to beef up the bucket cylinders. Does anyone know of an after market or a posible replacement?

Diameter of cylinders should be the same as they lay close to the loader arms and oversize would alter the geometry. Why not just trade for a bigger tractor/loader?

I have a kids pen that my 7510 just fits to clean it out. It was not so bad when my childern could clean it out but now that they are gone the tractor is a god sent.

I've read in here that you can increase the capacity by shimming up the relief valve. I haven't done it myself to know how much the actual gain is, but I would imagine that it would still be within the limits of the loader such that you won't rip it apart. You will always run that chance with an after market brand. Plus the shims are fairly inexpensive.

Maybe the more experienced tbn'ers can weigh in and actually walk you and I through installing them.
