So i have a cat 308d and the nut on the bucket cylinder got loose and damaged the cylinder and also contaminated the hydraulic system everything was working except for the bucket cylinder and the blade cylinder. The problem with the blade cylinder was that it didnt have enough power to lift the machine off the ground. We repacked the blade cylinder, got a new bucket cylinder from cat. before installing the blade and bucket cylinder we removed the main control valve the bucket spool was stuck and there was metal inside the valve we got it cleaned up and repacked. We changed hydraulic filters and flush the oil from the hydraulic tank. After installing everything the machine doesnt move or the hydraulics works. we connected a gauge on the cylinders and we are only getting 1000psi. the blade cylinder its worse now and the tracks doesnt move at all. the swing moves only a little bit. The only way to get the cylinders to move its by moving the 2 joy sticks at the same time and they move really slow.
After that we removed the valve and got it checked out and we followed all the lines to make sure everything was connected correctly and the exact same problem.
can someone please help.
