[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 39378, member: 897"] Two more questions. 1. When you removed all the couplers and checked them did you connect plow male to loader female and plow female to loader male and while connected blow through them to insure the as mounted pairs of couplers allow good flow? 2. When you “Reversed the lines and reconnected” did you swap the hoses at the cylinders or did you swap the couplers on the plow hoses? [B]If you swapped the hoses at the plow cylinders[/B] it looks like you have a restriction on the right side keeping the fluid from returning to tank. This could be a bad coupler. You can test this by angling the blade to the left and then removing the coupler from the right plow hose. Put the hose in a clean bucket, clamp the hose to the bucket and put a cover over the bucket. Be careful as the oil will be squirting hard. Make sure it can not shoot your direction. Try to angle the blade to the right. If the plow angles and fluid from the right cylinder is in the bucket then either the coupler is bad or a spool valve is not opening to allow the fluid back to the tank. Do you have a double acting cylinder that you could attach to the Aux to test for proper pressure and return in both directions? [/QUOTE]
