    Volvo L70 engine problems

    Hi My L70 loader has the TD45B engine. The other day it started to lose power as if it was low on fuel. Filled her up as she was getting low but problem stayed. It’s fuel related, seems to rev ok in neutral, but when it’s under load and your travelling and start to load bucket up it’s starts...

    Volvo TD45B engine help

    Hi My L70 loader is leaking oil from the front crank seal. It's a TD45B. Just wondering if anyone knows how to change it? Not sure if comes out from the front once the crank pulley is off or if if knocks out from behind and you have to take the timing cover off to change it? Any help would be...

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Nearly two years ago since I started this thread. Haven't done it yet. Stilll leaking, getting progressively worse. Oil levels in hubs and axle ok, haven't topped them up at all since noticed leak. It's definitely gear oil so that's ruled out a caliper leaking. So, here's the big question...

    Volvo L70 Intermitant Brake Failure

    Hi All Every so often I get brake failure on my L70 loader. The gauge drops to zero and the pedal has nothing. After a while (sometimes a day) the gauge will rise again and we have a pedal. I think they're hydraulically ran, but wouldn't have a clue where to start. Obviously something...

    L70 Intermitant brake failure

    Hi all My L70 occasionally has 100% brake failure. It's not front or rear but the complete circuit. The gauge drops to zero My older Volvo loader has a compressor but this one doesn't seem to have one. Looking through manual it appears to be this that powers the braking...

    Leibherr r902

    Hi all I've got an old 902, I think around 1985. Had a seal go recently on the valve block, can't remember which control it was now, either the main boom lift / drop or the bucket open / close. It was the right hand joystick anyway. It was right underneath, a pig to get too so we took...

    Volvo L70 Adding A 4th Hydraulic Line

    Thank you for your replies... Deere Tech, I did wonder if that would work. Connect attachment then lock it in, disconnect the pipes to locking pins then connect the hoses on allu bucket. Wasn't sure if when disconnected the bucket would stay locked, and also, if the pipes would leak once...

    Volvo L70 Adding A 4th Hydraulic Line

    Hi All Looking at getting an Allu screening bucket for my L70. It's got a 3rd line already to quick hitch the bucket. I will need a 4th line to run the attachment. http://s6.postimg.org/76qf1r869/IMG_0922.jpg Looking in my book, this is the circuit I currently have...

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Just an update. Had a guy from Volvo have a look earlier. Says it's the diff lock rattling around, more noise than dangerous so we'll put up with it.

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Yeah I've got the parts book which is a god send. I'm down in Bedfordshire, our nearest Volvece is in Duxford, not to far away. I can't stand the loader until Saturday as it's in light use. That saying I don't want to do any more damage but it seems OK. When I put the bucket down to lift the...

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Thanks for coming back, I appreciate it. We're quite mechanically sound but I'm reluctant to start undoing her incase I end up not being able to put her back together. So I'm assuming leave the wheel on, undo the circle of bolts and then take the cover of the hub off. Will that be enough...

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Sorry, it's an L70 (year 91ish). The first L70 they built. Only noticed it leaking recently. We have a slow puncture on that corner that's how I noticed. Both fronts are wet now around the tyres. Will check levels tomorrow. Oil ok in front diff, checked that yesterday.

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Thanks Paul, I take it this is the waste itself spinning round the hub? Our shovel is used in a builders yard. It all looks OK. Have noticed recently theres a noise coming from the front end somewhere. It seems to be transmission based. When you go forward it's like a rattle. I don't...

    Volvo L70 Oil Leak Front Wheel

    Hi all Just noticed yesterday my L70 is leaking oil behind the brake disc on the front left wheel. Don't have much experience with these. I'll post a pic tomorrow, just wanted an opinion and how easy a job it is to do. Obviously I can put the bucket down to lift her up and get the wheel...

    My topsoil Screener (worth more in scrap)

    We found this abondoned in a farmers field about 15 years ago. At the time we were digging a fishing lake and we needed a cheap screener to sieve the topsoil. We're still using it now. Considering her age, she does a great job. Next time it's running, I'll take a video and post the link...

    My topsoil Screener (worth more in scrap)

    Thought I'd show you my topsoil screener which is still going strong. I don't know any thing about it (make, year etc). She still runs and does a good job.
