Leveling the FEL

roughcut · Apr 25, 2016

I have the MAX 28HST that I got about 4 years ago. The FEL has never been level and it gets very irritating when trying to get the ground work level and smooth. I have never brought this to the attention of my dealer and before I do, do any of you know how I can get it level? Looks like the clamp location on the main loader brace may be a bit different on either side and I thought about starting there. Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Dave

Inflate tires to proper spec. Park on level surface(concrete pad is best)slightly loosen FEL mounting bolts just enough to allow them to move. Start tractor,lay bucket down flat. Boom down just enough to take weight off front tires. Tighten mounting bolts. Done! :thumbsup:

Thanks for responding Jabonee. I have the manual in front of me. Are you talking about the bolts that connect the back axle bracket to the Sub frame?

The bolts hold the loader mounts (pods,uprights) to the tractor. They are the black pieces that stay on the tractor when you remove the FEL. On that set up I think there under where your feet would be if outstretched and aft on the frame. Do you have a BH on this tractor? I'll look tomorrow if I get a chance. I think I have a few on the lot.:thumbsup:
