I caught a stump with my front tire today and it bounced pretty hard and then the bucket won't tilt and the lift will go up but to get it to go down I have to push the stick all the way forward to where it locks. Something happen in the pump?
All the connecting rods for the controls are still connected. Hydraulic fluid is good.
Not familiar with your machine but I would guess when you were bouncing around the aux hyd became engaged in continuous flow detent. On most machines that will cause the bucket to do odd things.
I wish you were here so I could shake your hand. That is exactly what it was. The aux. hyd is a foot control and I guess I stomped on it while bouncing around. It was idling rough too and I figured I had really messed something up, but that fixed it all. Thanks a million for your input. Guess that is why you are a senior member and I am still a junior.
Glad it helped, I didn't even know I was a senior member, thought I was just old.
