Hydraulic issue L45 bucket:

[TheOldHokie]

Sorry but its hard to keep all of the htdAre you saying that with everything hooked up as normal the only problem is slow dump?

Dan

that's exactly what I'm saying

Then discinnect the rod end hose on the bucket cylinders and cap the coupler to avoid a repeat of the oil spray fiasco. Then run the prvious test on the dump function to see if speed improves.

Guessing JIC-8 or JIC-10., current standard L used 8. They are only a buck each. What size wrench fits the hose swivel?

22mm

22mm

Hmmmm... JIC is not metric. AF for -6 is 11/16, -8 is 7/8. I would not think 22mm (.866) would go on a JIC-8 nut.

7/8 = 22.225mm
I used a 22mm wrench but they could be 7/8.
I'll try getting 7/8 caps

I seem to have confused this thread wirh another similar one. Let me back up.

You need to disconnect the rod end hose on the bucket cylinders AT THE CONTROL VALVE. Cap the work port on the valve, put the open end of the hose in a bucket, and test dump speed to see if it is any faster.

Hello all,
My L45 front loader recently developed an issue where the bucket is very slow to dump.
All other functions of the loader work properly.
The oil is newer (about 150 hrs), full and clear. (Kubota oil).
I know nothing of hydraulics but looks like I'm about to learn?
I'm pretty mechanical and have a factory service manual.
Observations:
Cylinders and rods don't appear to be bent.
Cylinders not leaking fluid.
Is there anyway to tell if I have a faulty cylinder or valve or pump or whatever?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Good news and happy ending to loader dumping slowly issue:
I talked to a remarkable fellow at a local hydraulic shop who advised me to remove the back side of the valve, the portion where the spring enters and to check for crud and corrosion.
Two 3/16 hex bolts hold it on.
Full of crud.
Cleaned it out, put it back together
Dumps like a boss.
Thanks to all

Translation - the spool was not actually moving
