Oliver 1650.It is and isn't a problem.
End loader bucket wants to tip down after a few minutes. I've had the hydraulic lines off and new couplings and changing things. And then had two more cylinders rebuilt. After I got all installed is when I noticed the bucket tipping down. So got the bright idea of switching holes and the couplings. Presto! No more bucket tipping down.
Edit = I've left the end loader up several feet and with tractor shut off the bucket doesn't tip.
Now, why does the bucket tip down hooked up the opposite way? Has to be internal.
Hydraulic pressure at all times on both lines. What happened, I had both lines off to the lift cylinder. Fired up the tractor and oil poured out of both line - full pressure. Levers not moved to raise or lower end loader. Caught most the oil in big drip pan.
Why is there pressure on both lines? I can see going up or going down, but not both ways at the same time.
Still a problem with hydraulic couplings. I have to relieve pressure on the lines to disconnect or connect. i just loosen the nipple or coupling, both of them. I little oil loss I accept.
Edit = For the couplings on the left side I've color coated pulling the left lever back has the cylinder raise whatever (up) - just like the right lever has the end loader raise.
