BOOM SPOOL FLOAT POSITIONER LEAKING

[midironman]

First tractor owner here. Is this just some kind of pressure relief on my loader valve? It’s dripping. L3302. Thanks

That is the float positioner on the end of the boom spool. It should not be dripping.

If it were me I would make the dealer fix it. Thats why you get a warranty.

My dealer is great. Called him up, explained issue, sent a tech to my house an hour later and installed a whole new loader valve. Super pleased. BUT, while working the tractor today after about an hour, same thing is happening. Grease dripping out. Any thoughts? Could it be something I’m doing or not doing? Really hate to whine about it. Should I just wait it out and see if it quits? Thanks

At a minimum you need fo check the pressure on the tank port.
