Ark Loader Owner/Service Manual Needed

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,590]

Guys,

Anyone have an owners or serivce manual they can post/email? I believe the one I have is an 80 or 81 Ark Loader. If not, any help on what type of fluid and how much is needed would be great. I need to adjust the bypass on mine as it is making a noise at the control and took all it could to lift about 250lbs. Thanks-

This is from a manual I have for an ARC 500 that cover mounting it on a D250. The loader specs I believe are same. It doesn't get into detail on how to adjust bypass pressure. I can send you the electrons of teh whole manual (0nly 7 pages) pfrederi1 at hotmail dot com
