I bought a D17 IV with a 400 series loader and noticed this- what appears to be a jammed cork in the loader. Never seen that before. Is this a job for a cork screw?

That looks like the reservoir for hyd. fluid. 400 series had these built in upright on one side. HTH Tracy

Is that the oil spout for adding hydraulic oil to the L/H Frame oil reservoir. Should be able to grab it and pull it out with a large pair of Channel-Locks. Remove the plug in bottom to flush out any pieces. Gary |

I have seen corks in places like that before. Sorta supprized me. I once had a cabover ford F700 truck with a fuel tank on it. It had corks in that dad ratted shift mechanism. Not one of ferds better ideas.

Yes remove the cork. The mud daubers and paper wasps need a place to live.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

(Thanks Kenny for shrinking the pic so it's viewable) It is the hydraulic spout on the loader frame. Can't get a channel lock pliers in that deep, so seriously may try a long corkscrew! (But am here in MN with an unheated ahop so may wait till it's not dumping snow or negative 30 degrees to do so)

On a Series IV D-17 you should be able to use the tractor hydraulic oil reservoir and control valves, and not need the loader frame reservoir. Gary |

Flexible corkscrew packing puller will get down in there but it likely will come apart in pieces.

Maybe you could glue something to the top of that cork and pull it out. Sort of the same idea as welding a nut onto a broken stud.

What's in the bottom outlet for suction line. Remove it. Put something in it to put air pressure in . Break up cork or drill some holes in it to pull it out .If you are not going to use in just put a old breather cap on it .

Kind of amazing how that cork lasted.
Cat put cork in the threaded wholes in trackframes of bolt wholes used to mount the dozer. Two old 1950 D6's here that have never had a blade and most of the corks are still in the wholes. I am sure it would be much easier to clean out the dry cork than mud or wasp nest or rust.
AC must of used a lot of cork for the same purpose. Thinking about it the HD5 has cork in wholes in the rear case too.
