JD 110 TLB Steering Problem

[jpen123]

This weekend we lost all steering on our 110 tlb, bad part about it was we were over a ditch. Has anyone else encountered this problem and what was the fix? The machine has less than 150 hours on it and had no other problems until this.

What exactly failed on your steering, I have had a load of problems all over mostly hydraulic things. The only steering issue I have had is the hose was put in the wrong place and is wearing everytime the axle pivots.

Not sure exactly what failed I think it was the hydro steering pump. The machine was just picked up today so hopefully we will know in a couple of days. What problems did you encounter?

First my hyd pump on the left side started leaking and my front axle started leaking within 20 hours every seal on the front axle was bad then another pump leak too many blown hoses to recall all failed. Oil pan gasket leaks electrical issue wouldn't start more hoses now my teeth won't stay on the backhoe bucket pin on bucket not qk. con. Deere isn't willing to help on the bucket either tthey say it is LD and the qk con is HD. NO where does it ever say this anywhere. Many, many problems so far. IM me if you have more questions. I would like to know if yours is any way different than mine.

So far this is the only problem that we have had. Knock on wood!!

Do you by any chance have the thumb for the hoe? I am wanting to build one and need some dimensions off it.

 

[jpen123]

Sorry we don't have a thumb. We use the quick detach buckets for the backhoe.

We heard from JD today and it appears that the steering cylinder failed. They said it looked like something inside of it came apart.

I have not had any problems with cylinders themselves but only hoses. It seems a hose will blow anytime I really need the machine to work all day. If you look at all the hoses they range from 3000 to 5000 they all need to be at least 3500 or 4000 double wire for them to last any length of time. I wish I could have been on of the consumers that they spoke with to get design ideas with but I will just have to keep yellin to the higher up people and maybe they will change something. Oh on my 24 in bucket they said the pin on light duty. I have checked everywhere for something that says there is a difference between the pin on and qk attach I found they both say heavy duty pin on or heavy duty quick attach. Isn't that a bunch of bull. The guy that is arguing with me doesn't know anything about these machines he's going on second hand info from a salesman. I don't know. It would be simple if they got the buckets from the same manufacturer and used the same teeth.

I had one hose blow right before the connector on the steering cylinder and one just exploded mid run on the dump/rollback hose on the loader. Bad parts they claim.

I've also had the steering cylinder plunger arm bend twice. Have any of you had any issues with yours? The funny thing was it wasn't even under load, just steering with an empty bucket. The part appears to be under-engineered to me at only a half-inch for such a heavy machine.
