Allan will that loader pickup a bale.

And what you thought? (:~})

I've got to screw some different couplers on the one bank. They aren't passing any oil.

Allan

On your wiring you need to have only one wire hot for each function. If you have to hot both functions will operate simultaneously.

Anothe thing to check is that your cylinder linkage on the tilt is free and not going over center. Don't laugh I had a similar situation on my 1066 and after changing all the fittings found that the bale spear needed stopps welded so that the cylinders couldn't retract so far that they sat on top dead center

good luck

It has something to do with these quick couplers. I went out there just now and tried to reverse the things. My original tilt fittings won't even go in the other side so something is haywire.

So, I'm gonna replace that one whole bank with "matched pairs".

Just don't think it is in the controller. I can hear both solenoids snap; if I unhook the juice from one, I can hear just the other one work and visa/versa. Think the valve is okay.

Loader is okay 'cause I can hook any circuit straight to the tractor and it will work as it should.

I'm just convinced it is in that batch of "mix and match" fittings that I bought. :>(

Allan

I'll swap 'em out and see what happens.

Here I am foolin' around with this silly loader in 60 degree weather. Should be working on that 966 cab! :>)

Thanks Bud,

I've mixed them with no problems other than stiff coupling sometimes. Let us know what happens when you change them out. If I understand it you have an electric diverter valve. Have you checked it to see if it is working ok?
Saw a problem one time where the male tip was not long enough due to being dragged on pavement. TEMPORARY solution was to weld a small deposit on the ball, cleaning it afterward, of course. Point is, check condition of male tip, but you probably have already done that.

Can you not inter-marry pioneer couplings? What I mean is, can't you use the male with the ball against a female that normally uses the "tip" kind?

I'm dead on one side and have about narrowed it down to the tips that the previous owner had on one circuit that I just left on and plugged into these new fittings.

Both solenoids "snap" like they should, the grapple works fine when I push the little button, but when I release the button, the solenoids reverse and I can hear the tractor's hydraulics dead-head instead of working the tilt. All the hydraulics on the loader work okay, 'cause I've tested 'em and all is well.

Help!!!

That bucket is a bit of overkill. Think I'm gonna get that thing off of there.

Also, previous owner has restrictors in the lift circuit to slow down the action. Don't like that much either, so they're comin' off too. :>)

Allan

Looks good, I've had problems mixing ball pioneer with the pointy tip type as well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it won't.

I like 'em quick too. These restrictors are the same type as I use on my spinner plow to slow the roll.

Not on a loader tho, I want 'er to move! :>)
