Spoman 1 #1 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Awhile back I had to change a couple of hoses on the front loader for our d-200. Just recently, I went to use the loader again and oil squirted out of the hole in the breather cap across the tractor. It did this a few times when I moved the loader through various positions. Any idea what's going on? On a related note, anyone know where I can a service manual for said front loader? Edited July 14, 2018 by Spoman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,985 #2 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) The oil level is over filled. Oil should not be reaching that high to the breather cap. The oil level is at the highest when all rams are retracted all the way, it will be at a lower level when they are all extended. The difference in the oil level is from the volume of space of the rods. They take up space when going inside of the cylinders, = higher reservoir level. And then allow that volume of space to be filled with oil when they are extended out of the cylinder = lower reservoir level.

Wild Bill in VA 1,451 #5 Posted July 16, 2018 OK lets start back at square one. You said you changed some hoses ...... was this one hose at a time replaced where as you would not get the connecting ends crossed ? The hoses were replaced maybe because they were coming apart internally ? Possible pieces of broken hose are still in the system causing a blockage. How did the ram cylinders work, was there a direction of the control valve that rams did not work ? Trace back the hoses and check. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BUCKET LIFTED HIGH UP IF REMOVING A HOSE AND MAKE SURE IT IS SUPPORTED ! Like noted from the other members either the fluid level is too high ....... or cross hoses or debris is blocking a hose or control valve.

Spoman 1 #6 Posted July 17, 2018 A hose had burst spraying oil everywhere, but mainly on me. I replaced it and the one next to it because it looked bad too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
