Boom Kick-Out Control.
The machine'sloadingboom is equippedwith an air-operated
kick-out control system. The system stops boom travel
automatically at a preselectedheight. The cam surface (1) is
fixed to the upper boom end, on the outside of the right
boom arm. The system air control valve is mounted to the
insideof the front frame.
In operation, the cam (1) moveswith the loader boom. The
cam follower (12) on the valveactuating lever (11) follows
the cam surface until it contacts the movablecam lobe (7),
and actuates the control valve lever (11). This causesthe
bucket leverto be released into the HOLD position.

bucket cylinder, is factory preset to keep the bucket in a
horizontal or "digging" attitude, with the cutting edgeof the
bucket parallelto the ground.
The object of the bucket positioner is to causethe bucket to
return to its proper digging attitude automatically after its
load has been dumped and the tractor is returning to the
work area. After dumping, the operator movesthe bucket
control lever into its detented ROLL BACK position. When
the bucket reachesits pre-setattitude, it automatically stops,
and the bucket leverkicks into its HOLD position.
