If it weren't for bad luck,I would not have any at all. My loader on my TC35D is acting up. The bucket will not curl in or out. The lift arms will go down, but when coming back up, stop at about the halfway point. The clamshell will open and close just fine, but that is the only part of the loader that is operating like it's supposed to. Is this a repair job for the shop, I'm not very mechanically inclined to say the least. Thanks!

Disconnect and reseat your loader quick connects. This sounds like exactly how an improperly seated quick connect acts.

Well, I learned a valuable lesson today. Check for the simple things first. I don't know how it could have happened given the location of the plugins, but three hoses had came loose from the quick connects. The fact that the disconnects are hard to access, really puzzles me on how this happened. The lines have not been disconnected in over a year. Simply amazing that this event even occurred.

Don't feel bad. The first time it happens to any of us, all we can see is dollar signs to get it repaired.:D Since there is no pressure relief for the FEL hydraulics when the joystick is centered, huge pressure can build up in the lines if the tractor is parked out in the sun. When the pressure gets high enough, it will unseat the quick connects. Next time, you'll be on it like a chicken on a Junebug.:laughing:
