    Adjusting drop speed on LB400 loader

    Thanks. I couldn't see anything on the (rather fuzzy) parts list. I can live with it as it is but may replace it if it gets worse.

    Adjusting drop speed on LB400 loader

    My new-to-me L2350DT came with an LB400. Works fine but the drop speed seems rather fast, unless I'm very careful with the control lever. The lift speed dynamics seem OK. Is there a valve adjustment on the "drop" hydraulic line that can be adjusted? (My Takeuchi 016 excavator conveniently has...

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    Unfortunately my machine doesn't have an accessory lighting connector, which would be really handy. I guess I could wire them into the headlight switch if I can get the panel off to access it. Mine theoretically has high and low beam but I can't see the difference. Presumably the "high" beam...

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    Interesting thread. I've just acquired a used L2350DT with an LB400 loader and want to put a couple of 18W Nilights up high and one facing back. I had these on my old Yanmar 1702D and they worked very well when clearing snow when it's dark. (The rear-facing one was mounted behind the seat.) I...

    Starting problem with L2350DT

    LOL. Well, it is certainly a possibility (!!) (Now I am not certain that it is the original battery, but quite possibly so. It is a Kubota battery. I haven't checked the date code on it.) But at this point it is now starting the tractor OK so I think the cables were likely at fault as they were...

    Starting problem with L2350DT

    OK- all good now :) Seems it was indeed the cables. Replaced them this morning and it started like a champ, and again this afternoon. Also picked up the Cen-Tech battery load tester @ HF in Bellingham WA yesterday. A couple of local stores had what is clearly the same unit with different...

    Starting problem with L2350DT

    I'm in British Columbia, just north of 49 (and I'm sure battery testers are available from one of our stores!) but my gf lives and works in Bellingham WA and I'm down there regularly so I know Harbor Freight (and Tractor Supply, etc.) I'll be there tomorrow in fact. In this case I doubt the...

    Starting problem with L2350DT

    Got the "known good battery" from my genny (trickle charged overnight) hooked up to the original tractor cables this morning. Same problem. Indicator lights went on... OK when pre-heating... but "click" when I went to start. Oddly (?) this was the same battery that had almost started the...

    Starting problem with L2350DT

    Thanks, everyone. Of course the battery was grounded to the frame right below the battery box - exactly where a moment's thought would indicate. I've now checked both cables and clamps and thoroughly cleaned all contact areas at both ends, as well as the battery terminals. Both clamps have a...

    Starting problem with L2350DT

    Just took possession of a new-to-me L2350DT and have been getting to know it after years witn an older Yanmar 1702D. Have run it a few times, and attached my brush cutter and done a little field maintenance. So far, so good until yesterday. I decided to put a "pigtail" onto the battery to...
