Hi all,
I have a 2000 Kubota B2400 with an LA351 FEL. It is a hydrostatic 4x4. No issues with it at all until last weekend when one of the hydraulic hoses coming up to the control valve burst. I lost about a 1/2 quart of hydro fluid. I replaced the hose and refilled the oil and now the loader doesn't work well at all. It has now downward thrust and on the upward travel it barely moves. Tilt and dump appear to work fine.
If anyone can point me toward where to start looking I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm thinking maybe it needs the air bled out of the system?
I've owned the tractor for years and it's never missed a lick, and I don't believe I operated it low enough on oil to burn anything up.
Thanks in advance.
