Loader LA463 QA coupler

[bigballer]

can anyone that has one of these installed check a measurement for me? i am looking for the length of the curl cylinder when fully extended (length of stroke). i bought a QA adapter but it appears I could get another 2 1/2" inches out of the cylinder but the QA is stopping on the end of hte loader arm and not the mechanical stop.. i have measured 16" of stroke.

Just looking at a used one in the yard and it has 18" on the stroke and yes it bottoms out on the loader frame not on the welded on stop for the bucket. This is a nice feature although often overlooked but it keeps the cylinders from being over extended against itself.

This feature is on many of our larger ag loaders but not on many compacts!

thanks art, this confirms my QA is built slightly different from what i thought i was getting. now to figure out how to make this work the way i want it to..
