Once I replaced all the weathered, cracked hoses everything functions, and the dipper cylinder was the only item still leaking. Rebuilt it and now I get to stop topping up the hydraulic fluid 🤣.
Bucket curl is strong and responsive. Raising and lowering the front end loader arms though is hard to engage and weak. It feels like the valves are barely opening. Might be the linkage on the control stick is at fault. Better that than issues with the valve block internals!
There is poor response to movement of the control. I left the FEL raised last evening and it has not dropped at all overnight so there isn’t fluid leaking by the pistons in the cylinders. Once it gets warm enough that the damn mosquitoes retire I’ll get back to figuring out if it’s a linkage adjustment.
