JCB 3CX Loader Curl Cylinders not in synch
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 1:56 am
Hello All,
I had a loader pivot pin that would not take grease. It was the right side pin located at the lower end of the vertical link that connects the loader arm to the bucket curl cylinder rod pivot. I removed the pin in order to clear the obstruction in the grease pathway, and when I did the assembly shifted very slightly upward. It was so slight I figured I could just align with a come along when ready. However, I let the machine sit overnight while I cleaned the pin and now the unconstrained right side curl cylinder has extended about 5 inches further than the left (still constrained) curl cylinder. In order to reassemble the pin and link I need to close the only the right side cylinder. Does anyone know how I go about this now that its travel is out of synch with the left. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
