545A loader valve or pump ?

dangtrucks · Feb 1, 2010

Hello .
I got this skip 2yrs ago the loader curl progressively getting worse. chatters wont lift with full bucket . changed all filters improved a little. Its not like I have any work for it but you never know. Tractor guy looked at it said he thought it was the splines on front pump for a grand he could fix it . i still think its loader valve bypass . is there any adjustments on those valves. Dan G.

No I got to get a manual for it . i just keep drivin it this way curl it in the pile then lift.dont think i have a gauge .low rpm it works kinda rev up it will stop curl
the pump is buried behind axle . whats the pressure at the pump suppose to be
I was hoping its o rings in the valve. tractor guy stopped by on his way to a job i got him gave me his two cents for free didnt chek pressure .

It does sound like a bad pump but without further test info ?????
Your guess is as good as mine.

P.S i live in Hemet not far from you
