Read articles →A step-by-step walkthrough of detaching and reattaching a 440R loader on a 4044R, with the presenter noting it applies to all 4R models. The video uses a dual-camera setup inside and outside the cab, covers lever positions, pin alignment, hydraulic coupler color coding, and how to relieve pressure before reconnecting hoses. Best for 4R owners tackling this job for the first time.
Posted by the Western Equipment channel, which promotes 247parts.com at the video's end, suggesting a dealer or parts-retailer perspective.
Set parking brake, put tractor in neutral, push forward on the lever to lower the loader until the subframe feet touch ground, then pull back on the handle to disconnect the hinge points.
With nothing hooked up, move the loader joystick forward, backward, and side to side to relieve pressure from the couplers before re-hooking the hoses.
Yes, the video specifically covers a 4044R but states the process applies across any of the 4R models that use the 440R loader.
Start with the inside couplers, either yellow or blue, before doing the outside ones, since starting outside makes it harder to get the others back in.
