Could someone please give me some direction. The bucket keeps leaking down(tilt side)
more info needed is the machine running and tilting down on its own? does it tilt with the machine off? sounds like a lilt cylinder bypass, but Im sure Willie59 will comment on this, he is the Bobcat Guru
The bucket only tilts forward when the engine is running. Thanks for replying
If you let it continue to tilt - will it raise the machine?
sounds like oil leaking by the spool for that cylinder.... or the linkage is hanging up a bit.
And could be the screw that mounts the centering spring to spool has come loose. This would make the spool tend to drift into the bucket tilt position.
I have pulled out the spool from your previous thread (willie 59) and found 1 seal u/s your photos were great thank you. i want to thank everybody for their input, this is the greatest forum on the net. thank you all, its great to get information from experence people like yourselves. I will put the seals in at all know how it went.
I have replaced all the seals in the spool (6) Tilt . Still the same problem . Even when engine is stopped it still tilts forward . Is there a simple test to find out where the problem is. Help please
753 has a single tilt cylinder. Raise loader arms about a foot with bucket level, shut machine down. Place a floor jack under front of bucket and jack until you see bucket tilt pin relax of load. Disconnect hose going to rod side of cylinder, fit a JIC plug in hose end and fit a JIC cap on cylinder fitting. Start machine and raise loader arms another foot or so off of jack, shut down machine. Monitor position of bucket for the next couple of hours. If it tilts down, piston seal is faulty inside tilt cylinder. JIC plugs/caps can be obtained from any hose repair shop. If the hose end fittings are 3/4 or 11/16" they're a JIC #6. If they are a 7/8" wrench size they're JIC #8
