Default Re: my new toy

Congrats. It's a heavy and strong loader. Don't want to scare you,
actually I got 3 of them sitting on my workbench now) Friends loaders in for a service. So there are some typical issues;

- Hydraulic tube fittings: thread sealent is probably an unkown invention in China. After some time of operation, it's not unusual with a small issue concerning...oil leakage. Loctite 542 or equivialent. If one bother to set off some time to check all fittings one can reach, typically on the cylinders)
There is a bunch of hose connections positioned under the cab, EXCACTLY above the motor. After some hours of operation, its not unusual that the motor get socked in oil, -> call the fire department) An idea can be to try put some kind of cover above the motor, sheet metal, plastic.

-We've disengaged the diff.lock on the front axle on all the loaders to save the gears and bearings in there. The axles are known not to be too strong, so we try to put as little strain on them as possible

- Valve servos. They don't last forever. Good idea to have a couple in spare
