O.K. I just took delivery of a used 2005 B21 for use on my property. The tractor is in great condition with 995 hrs on it. I spent a little time on it this weekend and discovered that the left backhoe control lever operates the the boom swing and the dipperstick while the right control lever operates the boom and and the bucket. I am new to tractors and hydraulics but very mechanically inclined. It appears someone must have incorrectly flipped hydraulic lines. I can probably trace the lines and come up with a logical fix, but I don't want to mess anything up. I also don't yet have the service manual to work from. I assume the problem must be at the control valve. Can anyone provide the location each line should connect to on the valve? Also, what is the proceedure to avoide blowing fluid everywhere and ensure I end up with a leak free job?
Thanks, Leo
