Hi Guys Im New To The Site.I Have A Ford Model 1920 With A 7108 Loader.This Weekend I Was Moving Some Dirt,I Dumped A Load And Tryed To Curl The Bucket Back And Nothing Happened.It Sounded Like It Put A Strain On The Motor.HD Oil Was Alittle Low So I Topped It Off.Still No Curl.I Have Had It For About 5Years,Have Never Checked The Filter Screen And Dont No Where It Is Located.Any Help Would Be Appreciated.

double check any quick-connects attaching the FEL, best to uncouple, clean and reconnect

Sounds like its a little shy in the routine maintenance department. Have you lubed the loader arms, pivot points, etc?

Thanks For The Info,After Reading Alot Of The Posts That Seems To Be A Common Problem,And Come To Think Off It I Did Push A Pile Off Brush The Day Before And My Grill Looks Like It Took A Pretty Good Hit From Something.I Will Disconnect And Check Them Out.
