I have an Allis D17 and got a loader for it from a salvage yard. The loader frame is the kind that was an option for the original tractor. It's got a bucket on it currently. The cylinder arms were extended about 1/2 way when I installed it so I jacked up the bucket in order to get it installed. All hoses were bad, so I replaced them. After I jacked up the bucket and installed it, I thought the weight would pull it down because there weren't any hoses installed - but it stayed 1/2 up.
Then I installed new hoses and thought that if I push the bucket up and jolt the cylinders and then let it drop maybe it would come down. Now it's all the way up/extended and still won't come down. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
