Hi All,
I finally got her going ! Man that was a long drawn out rebuild but it was just when I had spare time. The engine runs great and everything seems to work as it should except the speed of the hydraulics. It seems to have plenty of hydraulic power but the bucket goes up and tilts very slow. The bucket drops plenty fast (which I realize gravity Helps in that direction) the tilt is very slow in both ways.
On the handles there are buttons. A red button and a black button on the left handle, and only one black button on the right handle. The labels are worn off of these so I am not sure what they do. I think the red and the black ones on the left handle lock and unlock the brakes, I can't tell that the one button on the right handle does anything at this point.
I don't know if the hydraulics are supposed to have two speeds and I have a solenoid that is not working or if it is some other issue.
So I have three main questions.
1. can anyone confirm what these buttons are supposed to do?
2. Is there a link where I could read an ops manual online which would give me this information?
3. Any ideas on what to look for to get the hydraulics working at the right speed?
