Loader Problem

[4bama1]

Guys I have a DK45SE,when curling the bucket up I can't push my joystick all the way to the left,if I do the bucket will start to curl down very slowly..
Any ideas?

Reset your QD's.

What J_J said. Look at QDs under right side step/loader pillar. This happened to me and one was undone but not obvious until I grabbed it.

I will check them this morning and see if that takes care of the problem....

 

[4bama1]

Well I reset the QD's but it only made it worse,now the bucket will curl slowly up without touching the joystick.I can move the joystick to the right enough to make it stop but it will begins slowly curling back up.It also still curls down if I go to far to the left.
Any other suggestions...

Thanks
Chris

Talked tot he dealership,the mechanic said that it sounds like the cables from the joystick are out of adjustment.Does anyone have a manual showing how to adjustment that they can post..I would greatly appreciate it so that I don't make it worse..:shocked:


Thanks
Chris

Did it ever work right?

No. I am going to take to the dealer. I would pull the seat and pull the joystick but with this busted back problem I am limited to how much I can do. It's under warrenty.

I hear you. I broke my back years ago. I'm happy I can still feel my toes, but life has been different ever since.

The numbness and pain in the leg is ridiculous,standing for more than 5 or ten minutes is not something I enjoy....

We've gone OT for a bit but I gotta throw in m 2 cents while we re OT. I never 'broke' my back but I crushed 3 disks and had to have 2 of them removed and my spine fused. I'm lucky not having any regular pain, only intermittent, like when standing for a time, but the partial paralysis and numbness in my foot and lower leg and weakness in my ankle is an annoyance to say the least. But I'm grateful it's not worse. I function well, considering.

It looks like we ought to start a tractor club called "The Crips" or "The Bonebreakers".

Count me in with my crushed tailbone, deteriorating discs, arthritis, and a back that just goes out every so often! I'm just now recovering from my most recent episode ten days ago. I agree that just standing is a major pain.

I'm in that camp. If I stand for just a few minutes, I'm in agony. Yet, I can "putter" pretty much all day so long as I take back breaks and sit down from time to time.

It appears you have it figured out LOL :drink:

Unless you want me to share non tractor tech-tips, like how to rapidly cool a bottle of wine down.

As well as the proper way to enjoy that same bottle of wine.

Either cables are adjusted wrong or the spring return in the valve has came loose, either way like you said it is a dealer problem.CJ

 

[4bama1]

I finally too the tractor to the dealer,got it back a week or so later..diagnoses was the springs in the valve had become to weak to close the valve all the way.
All fixed and ready to go now....

Here is another one for The Crips.

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, Bursitis, Degenerative disk Disease, Arthritis, a busted knee when I was 11 gives me all kinds of grief 57 years later.
Sometimes I think I am ready for the bone pile.
