Loader Procedures and Illustrated Parts Lookup

This selected content preview highlights the loader procedures and how to use the catalog entries to identify parts.

• Loader operation: Bucket filling, lifting, carrying, dumping, lowering, backfilling, and pile loading, with precautions for double-acting lift cylinders.
• Hydraulic pressure check: Gauge placement and test conditions for a sluggish loader, with follow-up checks for leaks at oil lines, fittings, and cylinders.
• Loader assembly: Side-frame placement, bucket attachment, pins and locking hardware, and illustrated oil-line and hose routing.
• Bucket attachments: Manure bucket and removable dirt plate assembly, plus parts identification for tines, mounting hardware, and replaceable cutting edges.
• Cylinder repair: Disassembly, inspection, seal and V-packing installation, and reassembly for the bucket-control and lift cylinders.
• Catalog lookup: Exploded views and matching parts tables identify callout numbers, part numbers, quantities, and serial-number changes where applicable.

The operating section is for owners familiar with loader controls. The assembly, pressure-check, and cylinder-repair sections are suited to mechanics familiar with hoisting and hydraulic service.

Hydraulic Checks and Installation

The pressure-check procedure helps distinguish low tractor pump pressure from leakage on the loader side. Use the applicable tractor instruction book for the pressure specification and tractor-side adjustments. The loader manual refers to the mounting-kit instructions for tractor-specific bracket and hose installation.

Cylinder Repair and Parts Identification

The printed parts lists pair bucket-control cylinder 4361 with repair kit 2-2857 and lift cylinder 7713 with repair kit 2-2859. The exploded views show the seals, V-packings, retaining rings, piston, shaft, and tube. A numerical part-number index provides a second way to locate loader parts.

The bucket-cylinder procedure shows how to release packing compression before withdrawing the piston assembly so the retaining-ring groove does not damage the V-packing. The repair section also gives the installation orientation for packing lips, wiper seals, and the snap ring.

Serial-Specific Catalog Entries

The B1630 loader hydraulics are listed separately through serial 22004921 and from 22004922. The corresponding B1640/A entries split at 24005472 and 24005473. Match the serial number to the applicable illustration and parts list before selecting a replacement component.
