Farmhand F11 loader problem

Don Hopf · May 1, 2009

The guy just dropped off a Farmall 400 and a Farmhand F11 loader with a pto pump.

Well, we move some things around with the loader. The hydraulic bucket is low enough to catch on the ground as the tractor is moving forward and pops the bucket backward. The bucket will tilt down and hold but will not tilt up.

Did a valve pop in the valve control?

We were thinking of switching the grapple fork control to see if the cylinders will work there.

Thanks

Don, sounds like a piston of off the rod., either nut backed off or rod is broken.

The nut's thread on the end of the rod was striped out. The rod's threads were ok so replaced the nut, reassembled the cylinder and went to fixing the carb.

The float was hanging up inside. Had to spread the float apart and replace the float pivot as it was twisted. That stop the carb flooding. Used the tractor to pushed tree cuttings into the burn pit for about an hour then the loader arms started rubbing the front place. That really scared me as I thought I had twisted the loader. We found another bolt broken from the mishap.

Thanks for the info.
