So I brought my L45 out this morning to move a trailer, and I went to swing the backhoe "left" and I get NOTHING. Right seems to work fine, but left doesn't move.
I did some diagnostics:
1. When the valve is in neutral I cannot push the hoe left or right by hand.
2. When the valve is in "left" I can push the hoe left by hand.
When I operate the valve left, I don't hear anything. When I operate it right it loads the engine and the normal sounds occur.
The hoe worked perfectly 2 weekends ago to dig a grave for one of our goats, but my buddy who is an operator by profession put the swing lock back in after doing the job. I don't normally do that as I swing the hoe sideways in the garage to save space. When I started the machine a few days ago I operated the swing a bit before I realized the locking pin was in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
