L3130 FEL sticking jerking

Thanks in advance to anyone that answers. If this has already been discussed please direct me to the string. My L3130DT FEL has began to stick on the down swing and will jerk violently. No problems with 3pt. Still has great power?? Some say valve is sticking, others say to bleed the lines. I have changed the fluids and all are full. How do I bleed????

Thanks, by the way, L3130 is a workhorse and does all I ask of it.

I have seen something simular to this on our rental machines. Problem could be in the loader valve detent assembly. The lube used when these are assembled will dry out and the 4 small detent balls will hang in the sleave causing the control to be eratic. Try sending the control into the bucket float position. If the detent is sticking it will be very difficult to get in and out of float. It is easy enough to take this apart for inspection, cleaning and relube but is difficult to reassemble this device. Let me know if you need any instruction with the detent, I have done a few of them and know a few tricks. ....

Also check your quick connects. Takes them apart and be sure they are clean and nothing will interfere with the poppit valve. Put the quick connects back tegether and be sure they are completely connected.

To bleed the system, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and cycle the loader several times. After turning the wheel back and forth, and cycling the loader, you should purge any air from the system. ....

After breaking the detent spring for the float position mine simply goes to float too easily which is a PITA. From earlier posts this is a common problem. The FEL can be jerky on the downswing if the lever is fluctuating between power down and float.
