Problems with my 1532....

[millhaven_nice_guy]

This weekend I had my loader off so I could walk around the tractor while I was chasing the new wiring for my aux. lights. When I went to put the loader back on I could not get the quick connects back together. I messed around off and on for two hours and ended up having to bleed the pressure off the cylinder in order to get the parts coupled together! Today I lost the ability to dump my bucket. Some investigation told me that it is the same hose that is now not working... Any ideas?

Just curious, when you went to put your loader back on, did you shut the tractor off, and work the joystick to relieve all the pressure before hooking the hoses back up??

I did have the tractor off and I also tried with it running (that's probably how the line got pressurized now that I think about it). I just got back in from my shop and after several hours in the heat, the dump now seems to be working... I hope it was just the cold that was the problem. The tractor normally sits in my shop that is not heated 90% of the time but atleast it is sheltered from the weather and it stays a few degrees warmer in there too.

The other problem I am having continually is that my throttle is freezing! The foot throttle will freeze fairly quickly and then the hand throttle will freeze up. I can only raise the revs until I put it in the shop and let it thaw out a bit! I'm not sure where the freezing is happening I have examined all the parts and there does not seem to be any evidence of ice build up.
