Bought a grapple and installed it on my T190. Went to close it, and now hydraulic system is "dead heading" trying to close the grapple. I have taken both auxiliary solenoid stems off and attempted to clean them. The smaller of the two stems I can't get apart, but the small plunger moves easily but doesn't move much. Now that the system is dead heading, no other hydraulic functions work properly....cant even raise the grapple now. Have even tried to run with both solenoids off but system still dead heads. As for the solenoids, if I move the toggle switch (on right controller) to the left, it activates the solenoid closest to the front (larger stem). The other solenoid is always on. Does that mean the switch is bad? Or is it supposed to always be on? BTW, this the first time the auxiliary hydraulics have been used in 3 years. Thanks for any help!

sounds like the solenoid is stuck open. dead ending makes the machine act crazy.
The machine will dead head even with the solenoids off of the stems. I might have two problems....
