I purchased the below kit, Any tips? I was reading though old threads and people were saying how they need to Remove the FEL and the Backhoe as well as the rear rim. I am looking at it and I don't believe any of that is needed unless I am looking at the wrong port in the rear.

I can't see why you would need to remove anything on the front. That makes no sense to me.

 

[Joe.G]

Me either, I believe I am looking at the correct port on the pump to remove to replace shims, I'll confirm when I get the kit.

You need to unplug ONLY one port ........ you pick a color on the FEL and go for it.

Do it cold and do it at idle then increase the rpm's......... you can take a couple of readings.

As for starting PSI - I think you will find 1750 ish to be the norm - you might get 1800. A small shim will get cha close to 2000 PSI and I think you should stop close to that.

I have 2 bx's - both of them have been uncreased from 1750 ish to 2000 ish ....... took about 5 minutes and the difference is noticeable too.

BX25D here as well. I’ve never felt the need to increase my lifting pressure…maybe I got a good one to start with? Ain’t gonna mess with a 10+ year old machine that has NEVER disappointed…

Just curious, with an L2501, increasing the hyd pressure 250 psi would translate to how many extra pounds lifting capacity? Anyone have an idea?

Simple arithmetic says 250/2349 = 10.6%.
