Help with a Case 1845C

[Thechap]

I have a 1999 Case 1845C with about 1200 hours on it. Everything works fine on it with the exception of one thing. When you go to lower the bucket, it drops very slowly. It will lift fine and the bucket will tilt back and forwards just fine, just won't drop very fast. I called the previous owner, an elderly man who said they had to bleed something to get it to drop faster. The only problem is he couldn't remember what. Can anyone out there help me please?

The linkage is missing for the aux hydraulics.

Maybe the aux was sticking and thats why they disconnected the linkage and the spool is not center , other than that the only thing I could think of is a problem with the boom spool centering spring-------------does it feel like you have full stroke on the foot pedal and is it smooth ---another thought is you linkage is worn and not get a full stroke , I have seen some weird things happen , maybe a problem in one of the cylinder

If I lower the boom in the float mode which is all the way on the control it will lower slower than when its in the downpressure detant which is a little before the float mode
