FEL Wont Dump.

[J_J]

What hyd gear? Are you saying that if you hold the levers at full dump more than usual would it hurt anything. The relief will activate and protect the pump, and some heating of the fluid will occur. It just doesn't make sense to hold the lever fwd after the bucket has dumped.

I agree that it doesn't make sense, but I'm just getting used to working all 4 positions on the FEL as well as the forward/reverse of the tractor. Guess I'm not much of a multiple-tasker. Just want to ensure that I'm not doing irreparable damage by holding the lever a couple of seconds too long.

my hydro fluid is full. i have tried bleading the line to make sure there is no air in it. But i took and had my younger brother pull the lever to dump it, why i was pulling down on the bucket. it was tuff but finally it gave and broke past a point that it started workin on its own. but when it gets half way back up it will not dump unless i pull on it. I also dis-connected both cylinders from the bucket, to see if they both would extend. ( while in the seat ) the cylinder on the right would only extend 8 or 9 inches. the one on the left wouldnt even budge.

You may have a blown piston seal on the right hand side.

At least one cyl is bypassing fluid, which will affect the other one. Have you dismantled any of the cyl?
