I have a wrist twist bucket on my 315 cat have had it for about 5 years, now it only tilts one way now when i try to tilt the other way the hoses tighten up but it wont move .I have a thumb on it so if i want to use the bucket i just turn two ball valves and then i can use the bucket thumb works good ive checked the hoses there oil come out both took cylinders a part all clear in there it has two cylinders .I installed sure grip controls when i installed the thumb and bucket.when i had the cylinders off, the attachment will tilt back and forth with a little help with a bar.the only thing i noticed when i had the hoses off from cylinders bucket and with safety lever off i had oil running out of one of the hoes with the machine at idle.Hydraulics is hooked up to my attachment bank on the excavator.
