I recently broke the main hydraulic feed line for the arms. After replacing the line the arms will go up but there is no power down it will float down but not push. Also it will not tilt the bucket up. Sounds like air in the line. What is the best way to remedy the problem? Thanks Tom.

time will bleed it run it slow and cycle the boom and tilt. did you take the seat out? its easy to put the aux hyd into detent putting it back in ( I know done it more than once)that will make the boom and tilt go funny too...Jeff

Check your right lever is not in detent, pull it to the left and let it spring back. If its good, i'd say wait for the air to bleed out. Air can cause lots of issues till you get it all out, which takes time.

The whole cab tilts back so no we didn't have to take the set out. We did however losen the lines up by the front cylinder that tilts the bucket. We had alot of air come out then refiled the res. but it was no different.

I can only think its air still, it should clear its self out in time. I didn't think you would get enough air in from such a simple job to cause a problem. If you run it then stop and let it sit then re-run it a few hours later after the oil has time to settle in the tank. The biggest problem is the oil will foam up in the reserve tank, you keep running it and it will just keep drawing in foam, let it sit so the oil has time to settle,
