I'm having trouble with my hydraulics on my JD 2640 tractor. I had it laid up for a while working on the engine. I finally got the engine working great, but now I have a hydraulic issue.
The 3-point goes up and down fine. The front end loader forks go up and down fine....it goes down a tad slow, but goes up great and down acceptable. The problem is with the bucket. It will curl down fine, but coming back up is very, very slow, almost not moving at all. It will curl back up but takes several minutes to do so.
So I don't think it's the pump since the other hydraulics work OK. The bucket going down extends the cylinders, and coming back up retracts the cylinder. The slowness is in the retraction.
These cylinders have hydraulic lines on both ends. One of them has a bit of a leak.
Any ideas or suggestions?
