Thanks for the input on my other post re: electrical.
PROBLEM: I have a '51M, live hydro, w/ an F11 loader. It also has the 'claw' attachment, but it is currently not on the bucket. There are 3 levers. When I pull the lever to lift the bucket, it will squeal, shudder, and not lift. If I back off, it will lift, albeit slowly. It's a PIA when your movin' alot of snow, and have to finesse the lever. The tilt lever is fine.
None of the other controls have that issue - only the bucket lift. The fluid is full in the tank next to the cockpit. So that's not the issue.I dunno if it's an o-ring or something in the lever or what?
Sorry for the non-technical terms - until this M, I've never driven or worked on a tractor. A CA suburbanite who moved to Dakota Country - and lovin' it!
Thanks in advance --- ND in ND
