New problem mounting my FEL: When I tried to mount FEL I noticed the boom cylinders were extended by different amounts, see photo. One is extended about 2-3" more than the other. If I connect the FEL to the control valve (with FEL dismounted) and cycle the boom cylinders, they stay2-3" out of alignment until one fully contracts, then the other one finishes contracting. But when I extend them, one begins extending first, the other one doesn't move until the first one has extended about 2-3".
If I put FEL in float position (with FEL dismounted) I can manually contract one cylinder, which forces the other one to extend until they line up. But as soon as I try to cycle the cylinders again they get out of alignment.
So I managed to mount the FEL by pushing on one side with the frame. I get it all attached and cycle the boom and everything seems fine, so I dismount it and the boom cylinders are lined up. But as soon as I cycle the boom cylinders (with loader dismounted so there's no load on cylinders), they get out of alignment again.
What's causing this, it makes it really hard to mount the FEL?
thanks
