The AL540 has great breakout force!

I like those wheel loaders, do you have any of it running skid steer attachments? like a bushhog or harley rake.

 

[lumberjack]

Hmm I don't. The AL540 has 14 GPM in aux flow, which equates to 25 HP.

I've played around with the idea of adding higher flow hydraulic pump (20-22gpm) or a power pack. The 540 only has 47hp to play with.

Couple videos of the AL340. The first is sidewalk removal, the second is a smattering of pictures I've taken over the past year.

The front differential lock is leaking oil into the front axle (ZF axle). I'm two weeks and change out of warranty, but it's being covered. If anyone is interested in getting a Gehl AL loader, I've got a line on a great dealer!

Hi lumberjack
Do you know whats wrong when the front differential lock was leaking oil into the front axle?
I got the same probleme With my 340.. :/

and what did you do to repair it? and how much did it cost?

Thanks
Best regards

Replace the two four lip rings that are on the locker's piston. I now work for the dealership as a rep, and did the warranty work myself, it took 3.5 hours I believe.

The piston is in the left axle tube when looking at the pinion. When you get done, reinstall the drain plug and engage the locker for 15 minutes (I used a cable tie). Pull the plug and there shouldn't be very much oil that drains from the axle, only what drained down from the side of the housing. Conversely you can leave the plug out and catch the oil that comes out, that part is your choice.

Do you have a parts manual to look up the parts? It should start around page 44. If you don't, let me know if your axle tag id ends in 226 or 318 and I can give you the part numbers. If you don't have a dealer...

 

[toget007]

No, sorry I don't have any part manual!..
is it a problem With these axels? It would be Nice if you could give me a price for these parts! I probably need the sealing between the axle and the ''spacer' to'.
The axle is a ZF AP-R7 15, 1632975, 4472 004 225,

Best regards

My computer crashed and I'm in the process of rebuilding it currently so it will likely be a few hours before I can get you a price. 4 month old, $4.1k Mac... Glad I back up, including the wedding I was at yesterday!

Yours is the only other one aside from mine that I've heard about. My 540 isn't doing it, nor has the 340 repeated it.

What other seal are you talking about? Between the center section and the axle tube? If so, it's reusable (o ring) so long as you don't damage it.

Send me your email and I will email you the parts manual.

 

[toget007]

Yes, the big O-rings, it leaks there to.... I'm not quite so happy With my machine, I've had some trouble With it...
Try send it to toget_thomas@hotmail.com
Do you have a price for the parts?

Thanks, you're very helpfull

Can you send the parts to Norway, zip 1866?

Thanks

 

[lumberjack]

Yeah we can. I'll try to get you a shipping quote tomorrow. The office girl didn't get back to me with it this afternoon.

 

[toget007]

Did you get the quote for shipping, lumberjack ?

 

[lumberjack]

I apologize for the delay. Here's what I got back.

$20 First Class, $35 Priority, $75 Express.

 

[toget007]

Oki.
Can you make me a invoice for the parts you think i need, and first class shipping?

 

[lumberjack]

Sent! Two 4 lip seals and 1 o ring, USPS first class.

 

[toget007]

I think I need two o-rings.
Just to be shure.

 

[lumberjack]

Alright, that's no problem.

I also forgot to tell her to list the standard 2% forum discount. Not earth shattering on $50 in part, I know. Still, it applies to everything.

 

[siduramaxde]

Mr. lumberjack, Wouldn't it be wise to have a machine with a full cab when doing tree work (especially in the woods)? I used to do some logging and I have seen what can fall from the sky...it could for sure kill a man.

 

[lumberjack]

Haha "Mr!" I'm 26.

I don't do logging, but I get your concern. I wanted a 2 post to get under low obstacles in folks yards. Now that we have the 2 post 140, my next AL540 might have cab/air.
