I'll swap all 4 lines when the rain stops and report back. If in fact the cylinder(s) are bad, can I do the job or do they need to go to a hydraulic shop?
Hydraulic issues on a 2200

I can't really answer that, if it were mine I would dive into it. I might make a failure, but I would try. I believe you could go to a hydraulic shop and get seals and o-rings. Might need to take the disassembled cylinder with you. My cylinders have a nut on the end made for a spanner wrench. Doesn't look to me it would be that difficult. Cleanliness is very important with hydraulics.

I've got years of shop experience, so I'll give it a go. Are there any details posted out there with specs for these cylinders?

If it had a hundred hours on the meter it could be 1100 or the 100. The 2200 from what those who know say that that is one of the rebuilds from vietnam. If it has a bulldog loader it is. They usually come with around 15-20 hour on them so he must have put around 75 on it. Any how my point to this is that hoye says that there are not as many parts for these as others and the bulldog loaders have no real source for parts. Going to a hydraulic house is probly your option as far as taking it somewhere and haveing them repack it if you wont try it yourself.

I'd be very skeptical of the 100 hrs myself if it was coming from someone we didn't have history with. That said, I'll never know the actual history of the tractor because we didn't build it. I can say it was in (almost) better condition than the new models sitting down the road out in the weather! :thumbsup: Hydraulic House is just down the street from my shop, so I'll drag the parts to them if that's what it comes to. Should the rams be serviced in pairs if that's the problem?

I'm new here, but what a site!
We have recently purchased a very low-hour, 'gray market' YM2200 that's having an issue with the front bucket not being able to hold a setting. When you tip it up, it only holds that position for 30 seconds or so. It did have a loose return hose (repaired) and a mildly leaking hose to the bucket (replaced). The oil level was topped off and all the leaks seem to be fixed. It has at least an hour of run time since the repairs and it's still not behaving. The service book we got is not, shall we say, the best...so I came here for advice!
Is it possible that it still has air in the system? Is there a check-valve that may need attention? Perhaps the filter needs cleaning? That said, where is the silly thing? :confused2:
Thanks!
If your YM2200 has a hydraulic reservoir under the seat, the screen will be behind the cover with 4 bolts.

If there is no reservoir under the seat, the screen will be behind the cover with 3 bolts in a triangle, under the PTO shaft.

That's great information, thanks! :thumbsup: I'll take a look tomorrow (rain never let up) and see what system's on our tractor.
