My '99 863F Tilt/dump has been getting slower and slower. Last week I got a leak in the seal of the control valve (at the slide (is that a spool?) that hooks to the linkage to the foot pedal). I completed a job and got major air in the system between adding oil to the tank and running it low. I pulled both valves and resealed them with a Bobcat seal kit. All worked well but the dump and lift were kinda slow like prior, untill yesterday when the bucket tilt/dump slowed way down to 12 seconds with a full load of dirt and empty???? I also note that there is limited power in the dump end, like it will not lift the wheels off the ground without more time on the pedal. At the complete end of the stroke it will not strain the motor. Tilt up is quick and has power. I put a new seal on the tilt piston thinking it was by passing and that made no change. One other note,,, I hooked up my 811 hoe. to load it on the trailer so I didnot hook up the ear hooks. I powered the hoe to retract the stabalizers and when I pulled one in to the lock, the tilt ram rocked the 811 hoe back at the cab???? I hope it is not a crack in the valve body?
