LULL / PRIMEMOVER LD50

[Charles Lapp]

I was able to purchase a really cool small articulating loader this last year. The history shows it was built by Primemover, John Deere and
LULL at different times. Mine has LULL decals. It is the handiest loader you can imagine. When I was running a skid steer, it beat me about
to death, this machine is very easy to run.
It was built with parts from several different sources and the parts seem to be easy to get when I can figure out the manufacturer.
The main hydraulic valve for the loader is designed as a stack valve so we can add sections for running extra cylinders or front implements.
FINALLY to my question.... does anyone know the brand of the main loader valve? I want to add a couple of sections.

You have casting numbers?

 

[Charles Lapp]

Yes, The valve is located under the seat but I was able to clean the ends up to get some good pictures. A local hydraulics shop reviewed them and said he is about 95% sure it is a Gresen valve. He told me they were bought out by someone else but they still use the same parts. He is going to send me a section and see if it will work.
Thanks for your response though.

So awesome to see your comments. I was beginning to think there wasn’t anyone that owned an LD 50 Loader Rubber tire articulated loader. Have you been able to find anyone that sells service manuals for them or parts manuals. ? Anything at all. My gosh this little buggar seems very rare. I can’t even find the specs on how much it can safely lift. Or the GPM on the hydraulic unit.
Thank you in advance

Interesting, I was pretty heavy on corralling YTers that would stray into the “Similar Threads” after the software switch over. I post mainly on my iPhone so I am not real familiar with what folks see on a PC. Often the “excuse” reply was that the date in thread replies is small and hard to see. Yesterday I was on my laptop doing some financial work and had YT open in my Firefox browser. It really does not seem like the date is really in that small of print or obscure. I think the main issue is you have to intentionally look for it. Old dogs and new tricks are a tough gig and hey I’m 63. Oh and his designation is “new user” but he joined in 2016.

Maybe it's the first he's used this after the new system. Would that make him renewed.
Talk about old dogs. I'm 20 years older then you.

His 16 posts simply haven't gotten him to the threshold to show Member, regardless of the date joined.

Not only is the thread old but it appears Charles Lapp hasn't posted since this thread.

No, the new system wasn’t a factor he posted some replies in 2024 after the change over.
To texasjetman, it might help you to know that as Jim.ME pointed out in this new software you can, in most cases, see when someone was last on viewing the forums. Just click their username next to their reply and it shows you “Last seen” Have a good day!

Thank you for letting me know. Greatly appreciated.

I’m new to the platform and trying to read the messages on a smartphone so I may not even be replying properly. My apologies

Your replies are fine. You just didn’t know that you were replying to someone that likely would not view your response due to them not participating in the forum any longer for whatever reason. Just look at the dates of the threads you choose to reply to as well as they activity of the participants as I pointed out above and respond in accordance. We or at least I hope I speak for others, are not upset. We or at least I am just trying to maximize the time you put into the forum for enjoyment. Replying to someone who is not there is sort of a waste of time wouldn’t you think?
Welcome back!
I’m not sure if a web search led you to this post or if you were just browsing the archives. Here is a link to a previous thread on this machine. The last member to reply there @moresmoke is still active on the forum and says he is the owner of one or at least he was 4 years ago.
