I am struggling with this and I am hoping someone can help me out. I have an old T173 skid steer that I bought for a home project. The pedals to lift the bucket gets stuck, especially at high throttle, after a few foot pounding it eventually responds and will raise up and down. I cannot empty the bucket by tilt (push the toe of the pedal) , I am able to lift the bucket back up if it is in a tilted position. The way I dump the bucket is by raising the bucket high and lowering it while pushing on the tilt pedal at the same time. After doing this a few times the bucket tilts slowly. So dumping a bucket takes about 5 to 6 lifting of the bucket and lowering it. Another way is to reduce the throttle and with the loaded bucket weight, it eventually tilts, however i have to sit there and watch it for 5 minutes. Very frustrating. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks.
