There was a hydraulic fluid leak coming out from around the check valve of one of the quick disconnects, which I seemed to have stopped by spraying it with penetrating oil and pushing it in and out a bunch of times. I checked the hydraulic fluid level, which I hope is what that dip stick is for, next to your left foot while sitting in the cab and it was very low. I had to add several gallons of hydraulic fluid to bring it up to the correct level. You're supposed to check it with the arms down and the bucket tilted all the way back, right? Now the arms go up and down just fine, but there is a problem with the bucket tilt. It only moves a tiny bit forward when I press the pedal down and doesn't tilt back at all. However, I discovered that when I put the arms pedal in the float position, then the tilt function seems to work just fine. Any idea what could be causing this strange problem, please?</p></blockquote><p></p>
