I encountered an issue with my loader where the boom and bucket tilt levers seem to hit a position where they can free fall before working normally. I am curious if this is due to an adjustment problem or if my loader valve is the culprit. Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you! - Chuck
When inspecting your machine, be sure to check the load check valves for any signs of damage, such as broken springs. In the early 1840s, these valves had a plastic poppet, but nowadays they come with an alloy one for improved durability. The image below shows the valves for a 1845C model, which is very similar to the 1840 version. Make sure to properly maintain these valves to ensure optimal performance of your equipment.
Prior to removing these items, be sure to verify that they hold pressure and that the safety bar is in place. Also, make sure to disarm all controls for added safety. Remember, safety first!
Alrman advised ensuring the safety bar is properly fitted and all controls are neutralized before attempting to remove these pressure-holding components. Remember to prioritize safety! Thank you for the information, I will definitely look into these.
If you're experiencing the same issue, consider purchasing the necessary parts from a reputable dealer. The parts, from Quality Control Corp, a manufacturer affiliated with Sauer Danfoss, can be found at a cost of $43 per kit (2 kits needed) with part number 156B8545. Opting to buy from a hydraulics supplier may offer a more cost-effective solution than purchasing from Case.
Answer: The issue could be due to an adjustment problem or a malfunctioning loader valve. It's recommended to inspect and potentially adjust the settings or seek professional assistance to diagnose and fix the problem.
Answer: Start by checking for any visible obstructions or damages in the levers or hydraulic system. Evaluate the adjustment settings and consider testing the loader valve for potential issues. If the problem persists, consult with a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
Answer: While occasional issues with the boom and bucket tilt levers can occur, persistent free-falling behavior may indicate a more significant problem with the loader's hydraulic system or controls. It's advisable to address such issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure safe operation.
Answer: Timely resolution of issues with the boom and bucket tilt levers
