I recently purchased a 2240 with 145 FEL and the loader has a
few issues. I installed a new control valve, so no issues there.
With the bucket flat on the ground, I can curl the bucket and
easily lift the front tires off the ground. However, the main arm
cylinders will not lift the front end...even with the bucket set up
on blocks so there is plenty of ram to retract. Since the bucket
lifts it, it's not a pump or pressure issue. Is it a cylinder seal
leak issue? Can I rebuild these, or is it more effort than it's
worth to hire it done.
Also, it previously sat outside and the hydraulic fluid is
milky...likely water in it. Is there any at that is jacket water? Or
just rain from setting outside?
Thank you for your insight.....or even your $.02 worth!
