First time poster here. have read the forum for years and usually found the answer i was looking for. Thanks to all for the great information! It has saved me a lot of aggravation over the years.
ok, on to my issue: just finished the install of a front end loader on the 5000 (72-SOS), farmhand 22 loader, 2 spool valve with power beyond. installed power beyond plate under tractor seat under the remote spool. this is the first time i've done this kinda thing and everything worked flawlessly. no leaks, loader goes up and down, 3 point goes up and down. yesterday i had to move the transport disc and hooked it up to the remotes. it was a bit sluggish at first then the cylinder lifted it right up. i waited for it to reach its max stoke and snap back to the neutral position. well, it lifted all the way up but did not kick back to neutral. i manually slipped the lever back to the neutral position and the cylinder lowered. the cylinder would only hold the load if it was in the lift position. needless to say, that ain't gonna work.... i need that cylinder to hold at whatever position i stop it at, that's how it's always worked prior to loader install. any thoughts from anybody? FYI, i am still in amatuer hour so please try not to bombard me with a lot of technical jargon.... i figured how to plumb this thing and repair a leaky lift cylinder so i'm not a complete dummy. any input would be greatly appreciated.
