Loader Can't find Montana loader specs anywhere.

Hey everybody, as the title suggests I am looking for loader specs, specifically for the R4944 and 3940. Tractordata has nothing and I have been unable to turn up anything on Google. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I copied the specs when I bought my 3940..

Hey MWB, thanks for the reply! That is actually really stout.

Any idea how to adjust pressure? My 4344 seems weak compared to those specs.

I think there are two adjustments; one is specifically for the loader and should be located on the joystick control. The other is for the 3 point lift and rear remotes; that one should be on the control block for the rear remotes, or possibly under the foot tray where your loader control is connected.

Before adjusting I would put a pressure gauge on a loader line and check it (buy a gauge and a matching pioneer fitting, easy to check anytime). I am not sure what the pressure spec should be but I believe around 2000 - 2200 psi.

Found a separate block that runs into loader valve. This has a nut with Allen head bolt in the middle.

I'm a bit late to the party but when I was having problems with my loader (https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/398059-slow-weak-loader-montana-r4944hst.html) I managed to get a user manual for the loader from the company that used to make them. I've found it rather helpful.

You're correct that the pressure relief valve is the nut on the bottom of the divider block facing out. Mine was set at 2400 psi.

I see the Montana 100 loader specs only are for tractor models up to 4540. Does anyone have specs for the 5740c. I have a bent rod on one of the bucket cylinders and am having a hard time finding a replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I assume you have the curved loader arms, which would be the Model 115 loader made by Ameriquip. I've attached a Spec brochure.
Dealers are as follows:

Diamond R MO 573-455-2617
Trailswest AZ 520-586-0500

A hydraulic shop can make a new rod if need be. If you have the straight arms it's made by Ansung in Korea. I have a manual for it, but no parts support available here.

I have the straight arm Ansung one. That's the problem I'm having, no one can give me specs on it. I priced out getting a rod made and they want $650 just to make a rod then I have to buy new seal kit and get cylinder cleaned and checked. I was wanting to buy a new cylinder because I'll have close to $850 in this one. From what I've found on new cylinders, they start about $200 - $600.
