Bought the tractor with the woods loader attached from dealer. Has worked fine for 2 years (160+ hours). Dsconnected hydraulics to service tractor. Now the loader goes up and down but does not tilt forward/backward. Just kind of swings. Help?? Have tried multiple combinations for the 4 lines... no luck Don't suppose anyone has a diagram? The loader manual and the tractor manual have not been much help..

One thing that you may want to check is that the quick connects are fully attached and engaged. It is possible for them to look like they are properly connected and yet they are not fully attached. If they are not together properly then the check valves will not allow fluid to flow through them.
A note of caution - if you want to check if the balls in the valves are moving freely remember that the hydraulic fluid is under great pressure and can be dangerous if sprayed at you. Put a rag over the fittings before attempting to push the balls in.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like they're not going back to the proper position.....are they color coded? Sometimes they have a colored tab "somewhere" along the hard line, if you trace it you should (hopefully) see it.
And, as others have said, you have to seat the Quick disconnects fully, they may look like they're attached and feel like they're attached, but they're NOT attached.

Thanks all.. we'll make sure they connect securely... Scoutcub.. You're right on what we think is the problem... unfortunately the color codes for the bucket are not in the same place/order as those on the side of the tractor, and there is no diagram in the manual for the loader to tell us what goes to what..
