Good day all

I'm trying to get a BX24 back to life, it's been standing in the weather for some years. I have replaced the cracked hoses to the front loader, sorted the electrical bits I need, changed starter motor, have the engine running fine and changed / cleaned the filters and oil. I also removed the back hoe, not needed and many hydraulic hoses needing replacement. At each connection point I fitted a 'stopper', so now I can run the engine, but the hydraulics are completely non-responsive? I am wondering of by putting stoppers I am blocking the flow of the hydraulic fluid? Maybe I need to connect 2 (or more) of them to facilitate this?

Any guidance would be most appreciated. Image attached

If it's plumbed the way my BX23S, you need a 'jumper hose' between 2 of the outlets...
The Owner's Manual 'should' have the routing, the WSM for sure ??
Bet you get 5 replies within the hour......maybe one will have the diagram

You need to connect the short hose on the left to the port on the right to complete the circuit. That will send fluid to the loader valve.
