I have had the B5100 with Loader for a few months now and love it. Have
learned a great deal from this great site! Have owners and shop manuals.
Understand use of knob under seat to switch hydraulics from loader to three
point. Purchased a 36 inch tiller that works great. I know that tractor can
only run three point lift or loader but not both at once. Have switched between loader and three point several times in the past few months. Now for the problem. When I switch diverter valve under seat to run loader with lift select lever in lift position and start tractor, lift select lever moves to neutral and screeches. No loader hydraulics. Stop tractor turn knob to three point, start
tractor and rear three point hydraulics work great. So basically have no hydraulics to loader. Any ideas on things I could check? Is the Diverter knob
and valve possibly the problem? How hard is it to remove? Appears in parts
manual to have several O rings. Would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone
that has insight on this. Thanks
