Check the Hydraulic quick connects for the FEL and see if they are seated all the way. Take them loose and hook them back up.

dex, thanks and checked that I,m looking at the control arm bushings in the amRod or something may have come off.Dave

Hopefully it isnt something costly. Can you check the pressure to your lift cylinders? Try swapping the bucket hoses to your lift arm cylinders. If it does the same thing it could be a blown seal in the cylinder.

If the bucket curl can lift the tractor, I don't think you could have blown anything in the lift arm cylinders. If you put the loader in float and then try to lift the front end with the curl circuit, will that lift the loader, or is it "stuck" to the point that you still lift the tractor?

Also, as dex mentioned, hook the lift arm hoses up to the curl circuit and see if the cylinders work correctly. If that works, then you may have something wrong in the valve.
