bx24 loader won't raise the front of the tractor.
and if it does it leaks back down very quickly
Oooof.no history at all got it from a auction house.
Sure, a video would help a lot.thanks for the vote of confidence on NO POS.
i extended all the cylinders. and checked the fluid and it is about half way up the hatch marks on the stick.
"How many hours?"
i wish i knew. hour meter is not readable
" Fluid levels are correct?"
yes i believe so
would a video of it help?
the bucket cylinder seems to work better that the boom cylinders.
so i was wondering if the float detent value might be leaking?
i assume that the float value only effects the boom cylinders not the bucket cylinder?
but i cant seem to find anything about that.
i seem to able to find book on the bx23s but not on the bx24(d)
thanks Ken
the oil is not milkySure, a video would help a lot.
Make sure the fluid is clear, not milky
Air in the fluid is rare, but in the BX24 it may be a good clue. Usually air goes away by itself when you run it a bit. If not, it usually comes via a suction side leak between sump and inlet to the hydraulic pump. That includes the rubber line that is known to cause problems on your model tractor. I believe Kubota sells an upgraded suction line. Check that line.
I doubt it is internal leakage in the boom cylinders. Internal leakage is almost never the problem. In fact, internal bypass leakage cannot make the cylinder and rod pair shorten.
Many tractors will not lift the front much by simply laying the bucket flat and using bucket pressure; they need boom down pressure.
I have no idea what is meant by a float detent valve leaking.
