Yes, undertand that part. I have the same feature (different method) on my L Series. A useful safety feature in quite a few scenarios. (y)

OK....understand now. Thanks to everyone for your replies. My L series has a similar (by function) metal flap that does the same thing. Anyway, appreciate the clarification. Knew you guys would know what I didn't. Flint.

Ahhhhh....... So it physically locks out the loader control? Odd feature IMO. What is the supposed purpose for it? Thanks

My Brother bought a used tractor (M4800SU) and it came with what looks like a factory intalled rear remote. I've been unable to locate a User's Manual for this particular model. Hence my question: On the FEL control there is what looks to be 'Diverter' of some type? (see pics attached). What...

My Wife hasn't hit one (Yet) but found a dead Buck laying out in our front yard two mornings ago. It had been hit by a vehicle. Broke of the G2,G3 tines, broken rear leg and internal injuries. Have to be very careful driving this time of year (rut in full swing).

'' ^^^^^ My first thought as well (no pun intended) faulty check valve(s) and asked that question early on (are check valves present). Still could be something else. Aren't plumbing issues fun?

Yep, reall bad news since I could use a pair for my L2350DT.

Very interesting, thanks for posting that. Doubtful anything could be done about it at this point, but certainly informative. We just took my Daughter's 2 dogs in yesterday, one a 15.5 yr old Dachshund the other a 10 month old Pyrenees and Corgi mix (yeah I know, how does happen). Left with...

Dissolved gases in water solution (water temperature high) escapes more easily than in cold water, may be one explanation for that. I don't think an aged Anode Rod has anything to do with the OP's issue either, but most will need replacement at 3-7 yrs depending upon water condtion and wether...

A corroded anode rod could certainly allow for Hydrogen gas bubbles to form. However 'pure' hydrogen gas has no odor and the gas bubbles could be mistaken for air. Worth checking out, but my suspicion is OP has leak somewhere in the suction side of the system (since he said the system holds...

Excellent work Sir. Looks great.

That is terrible news for much of the tractor owning community. Such a great product and wonderful service/items you have provided over the years.

I use EO in my ATV and in some of my two stroke small engines. I find it does 'store' better and I've had fewer problems with it than with E10 in small engines. It is a 30 minute drive to get some and a buck more a gallon, but worth it IMO.

You have Check Valves in the system?

With regards to the 3 point, it is always 'gravity' down anyway.....so doesn't matter if the engine/pump are running or not. I always lower implements and FEL with engine off when putting the tractor up.
