[QUOTE="bowste, post: 77837, member: 11147"] OldMachinist, you are right it's a 731 not a 710! I had just read a post about a 610 and I scrambled the number just like my hydraulics were scrambled. Jerry, good call on the hydraulic hose as well, that would be a good way to eliminate that as a problem (but unfortunately I don't have a hose). I couldn't leave my baby out by the street on the front yard so I went back to the pry bar this afternoon to see if I could at least get everything in a position that would allow me to drive it into the garage. With a bigger bar, I got the arms to go up and down a couple times and the bucket tilt started to work again as well so I tightened the bolts where they were, threw the seat back in, and we've been working since then. The problem is that I have to reach down and pull the top of the pedal towards me to raise the arms since there is no way to push down far enough with my heel.
