743 Aux hydraulics only work one way?

[wakesetter142]

Hey guys Im new here! I have a 743 that I bought a few years ago. Just used it around the farm with a bucket and set of forks. Finally built a plow from a used fisher blade I had today. Heres the problem. I hooked plow up and found that when I move the joystick right the plow moves right. When I move it left nothing happened. I swapped the lines and when I turned it around and still only the joystick moving right made the plow move. Are the front aux hydraulics only one way I thought they would move in the direction of the joystick back and forth but maybe I am wrong to think they would swing the blade back and forth. Do I need some type of valve to manually change the directions then hit the lever? Any advice would be awesome gonna be a long winter if the plow only angles right lol!

should work both directions maybe check then linkage underneath the cab

Ok I will lift the cab tomorrow and see if something is blocking it. Thanks!

check to see if the retaining bolt is out of the bottom of the right hand stickand then look back where the linkage goes to the control valve body. Some of those hoses do get in the way and limit the movement of the aux linkage.

I think the above posts should get you out of trouble. These machines are fully mechanical, it has to be a worn/loose linkage or obstruction.
