BAD AIR

[billwiley]

Replaced a few hyd hoses on bt1100. I FAILED to fill the new lines when installed. Now it won't move and i'm scratching my head. Dealer says fill with oil and keep working it. Air will escape on it's on. Well I've been working it for two days and still nothing. Dealer also said there are no bleeder valve on that unit. I did notice there are ports with allen head plugs where fluid goes in the end of cylinder. Is that where I need to be?
Thanks in advance

They will self bleed, usually within seconds of replacement. Something else must be going on. Your hydraulic fluid level is up to spec?

Honestly as stupid as It sounds make sure your hoses are 100 percent connected properly. Unhook hoses and Physically push in on detent with a rag on a piece of wood make sure they will release and seat back properly. And if hoses are hooked properly does the hoses that supply that backhoe flex like there is fluid going to it ? All else fails crack some fittings will make a mess but at least you can see where the fluid is getting to
