i have a 259b3 and am having a problem with losing hydraulic power to the bucket and arm. talked with my dealer and told me to replace interlock switch. so i did and it didnt seem to work. i can now push the button and regain hydraulic pressure. has anyone else had this happen to them and if so what was the fix. looking at redoing the whole interlock override wiring till it corrects it. not the road i really want to go down.

    wrap a small amount of tape around the bracket. It may be bent slightly, thus it will not press the switch fully in to complete the circuit.
