Bucket won't go down.

[nedbrod]

I have an Honda tractor (HR6522) that just developed this issue. The loader bucket won't drop down. I can curl it in both directions and can raise it up but it will not go down. Overnight it drops slowly to the ground. Is it possible that a valve is stuck somewhere in the system? I'm planning on draining the whole system down and replacing the filter but don't want to do it until I can get this bucket issue resolved. I certainly hope someone out here has an idea what I should do. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the hose connections ? I suspect one of the hoses might not be properly connected, it’s happened to me a few times.
