I do have a question about the front hydraulics. The fluid really heats up after driving it around some. I was hoping that fixing the issue with the loader arms would correct this problem, but it didn't. I took out the top filter and looked at it. There was some buildup of dirt, so my next...

There were no part numbers stamped on it at all, which is why he printed out several pages of different valves and came up with his finding that it was wrong. The new one works like a champ and also allows me to adjust how fast the loader arms lower.

It had a big arrow painted on the side showing one way fluid transfer. The hydraulics shop guy took the valve apart and compared it to several different types of Parker valves, which is what this is. He showed me the shuttle valve and how it was not the correct one. It was designed to only allow...

Interesting find today working on the front hydraulics. Ever since I bought the SEE a few months ago, the front hydraulics were not working correctly. The bucket would tilt like it should, the arms would go up but not down, and the float position was inop as well. Even the electric switch on the...

I have been adjusting the throttle linkage on mine and found a few problems. The metal bracket coming off the foot throttle was bent, along with the bracket with the roller on it from the hand throttle. After straightening them both out, it really changed the adjustment of the whole linkage, and...

I finally changed the transmission fluid last week. Three drain plugs, two of which are magnetic and on the front and back of transmission, and the non magnetic middle plug. The oil coming out of the front and back drain plugs looked OK, but the middle plug had a lot of dark sludge mixed in with...

I never thought about that, but it should be a quick and easy check for both the wiring and fan itself. Thanks.

The tool switch was turned off, and I can tell it pressurizes the system with corresponding increase in RPM when activated. I am not sure what you mean about the spools in the neutral position. The valve body does have a problem with lowering the loader arm, and sure could have some sort of...

I traced the plumbing and both the front and rear hydraulic systems go to the cooler. The fluid is kept separate from each system. The rear PTO was definitely not engaged, and the rear hydraulic system was not hot at all. The front hydraulic system has a problem with the loader control valve...

Continuing to fix small problems and replace most fluids. It is a long but worthwhile process. The nasty rust colored brake fluid was definitely overdue for replacement. I have noticed the front fan on the hydraulic oil cooler comes on, but the back one does not work. Haven't had a chance to...

I read the previous post and associated article about this last night. It seems like there are a lot of different opinions about what is actually GL4 or GL5 among the experts. Talked to a friend and he visited with the engineers at his company that sells oils and lubricants and has found a new...

A friend is working on our John Deere tractor and he gave me some anaerobic gasket maker, which is what they use at the dealership. He said the best thing to use is Honda Seal, which Honda uses to seal most of their components on an engine. Of course, I had just finished making and installing a...

Thanks. A friend sells oils and lubes, so talked to him and he came back with Shell Spirax S6 GXME 75W80 is what the engineer told him. I am getting a 5 gal bucket (smallest size they sell), and will have some left over for the next service. Shelf life is two years, so hopefully shouldn't have...

I had to pull the bottom outlet on the front hydraulic tank and replace the gasket due to a large leak since purchase. Found out they don't sell the replacement gasket, but found a local shop that would make one. After draining the fluid and removing the old gasket, it turns out the home made...

Thanks a million for letting me know the regulator is adjustable. I thought it was factory set since it has a pressure reading on it, and was ready to buy a new one and replace it. I was able to adjust mine tonight and everything works great. Thanks again.

Not reading all 346 pages of posts yet, I have decided to post the NAPA and other part numbers I have been able to come up with for the FLU 419. Knowing there are more out there, this is an initial attempt at trying to put everything together in one spot. If anyone has any additional info to add...

I was looking at the Quick Tach Conversion Adapter, thinking I would cut the back out of the bucket and weld the adapter to it. The attachment mount plate could be used to fill in most of the missing back plate of the bucket. This would ensure that there were no alignment errors with the tabs...

I found them. Thanks. How is everything working out with it? You mentioned that you lost some of the bucket swing arc with the adapter plate, so what would you have done differently if you could do it over?

I have looked at the Titan kit, but the size is about 1 inch too narrow, and would involve welding steel on each side to make up the difference if my measurements are correct. The other potential problem would be the bottom mounts where the bucket is curving inwards and brackets are fabricated...
