NH 7308 Loader Owners

[Todd_C]

Spencer, I never got to use your gauge, but I wanted to thank all of you just for the information. I adjusted my 7308 several months ago thanks to your pictures and info. I now have a completely different loader. My loader must have been set way belos spec., because It didn't even want to lift an entire load of dirt. I laughed when eveyone was lifting the front wheels off the ground because mine wouldn't begin to budge my TC 30. I moved the adjustment 1/2 turn and I can now easily lift the front of my tractor off the ground.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the information and though I didn't send any money, I am grateful to those that made things right.

Spencer,
I just sent you a PM but figured I would try this as well. Can you tell me what brand, model, and size your quick disconnects were on your pressure test rig? My local hydraulic shop couldn't tell from your picture and they obviously need to match right up to the NH couplers.

Thanks.

It's an old thread, but I just built a pressure gauge and found my relief set at maybe 1600 psi on the 7308 FEL on my TC30. Adjusted it up to 1900, works way better. Now I need to figure out the rest of the hydraulic system so I can add hydraulics to the rear, top and tilt and all that.

After reading most of this thread it seems like several people wondered why they'd need to be able to lift the front end of the tractor off the ground. Well, you don't. BUT, not being able to do so is a good indication of the relief valve possibly being set too low.

How else do you change the front tires?

True enough! Been there, done that.

Is there any way to resurrect the original thread? I'd like to know how to build a guage and do the adjustments.

Same here.

I do have Spencers phone number and maybe he has the pictures yet that he could come back here some day and post them or he could email them to me for me to post. I will give him a call in the next day or so.

Wow, this is a thread from the past. Now we just need to find Jinman's No joy joystick thread. Probably 2 of the best NH threads we've ever had.

 

[SteveInMD]

The tester was just a quick connect on one end, a hose, and a gauge on the other end. If your dealer's maintenance shop can't help you build one a hydraulic shop should be able to. Maybe someone can chime in here with the proper type of quick connect.

Ive seen a lot of threads hear on TBN.

This is one of the best ive ever seen! Not only in terms of people working together for the common good. but the shear amount of GOOD reliable, factual info thats contained.

I have a rhino loader which is the same as the 7308 and would LOVE to put a guage on mine.

Any thoughts to putting together a new guage and starting this up again? (ive found that if i want something myself i generally have to just go ahead and do it)

Well, I have to have it again, my pressure setting is leaking oil again, so I will need to change o-rings again and reset.

If you want to wait a bit, I will try and do this next couple weeks, I need to get a day off where I have the tractor on the trailer with the hydraulic store open to give me a hand, but after I get it done, I would be happy to lend it too you. I was one of the original benefactors.

Don't know if this is a dead thread, but my loader and HST on my 1530 are acting up. Fast dump has stopped working and loader has always had a problem lifting a full bucket of material ie sand/dirt. The fast dump use to work now it's slow and seems slower than ever. My HST also has started to make a high pitched sound when the pedal is pushed totally forward or reversed, not evident while half depressed.

Any idea what's causing it?

Hydraulic oil is at the full mark. Tractor has only 254 hours and planning to do a complete oil and filter change soon.

Many thanks!
