Was trying out a new grader box. Everything was working fine. Just for fun I extended the boom all the way up and rolled the box all the way forward. Right as the tilt came to the end of it's travel I heard a loud POP and lost the ability to tilt back up. I set it back down and unhooked the box. Now if you hold the stick to tilt in you can see the tilt cylinder hoses jump just a little and the engine load down slightly, but it's definitely not going over the relief. If you hold the stick in you can force the tilt cylinders in by pushing up against something, but when you let off the stick they creep out and wont retract again without help. Everything else, including tilting out, still works fine. I'm flummoxed.
I pulled the load check for the tilt circuit and it looked normal. I can still feel just as much travel and resistance in the control as before, it just acts like the the fluid is flowing around with virtually no load when you try to tilt inward.
Any advice is appreciated.
