I know out here the local kubota repair shop has offers free pick and delivery for service, if you have one local maybe they can come out to assit.. or know anyone with a tow truck to lift it for ya
I made certain to clean the fittings thoroughly prior to reconnecting.
I can raise the bucket without any issues, but when I try to tilt down I must have someone physically push down on the bucket. Once the bucket is pushed down, it will only then tilt back up hydraulically.
