Hi. I'm new. Last year I picked up a bradco 715 ser 7N147. It's complete without an owners manual. I've attached it to the tractor and had two new hydraulic hoses made up to plumb into the hydraulic valve block. That's where my problem is. I did hook them up and started the tractor and the blade would go left and that's all. Now it doesn't do anything. I cracked the lines on the attachments control valve and at a couple cylinders. Oil did come out. The attachment did sit for a number of years so air or water could be possibilities. Any advice is appreciated.

Do you have the tractor operator’s manual to show you how to hook up hydraulic implements to the tractor? You may need to turn a valve (bolt head thing on block?) a certain direction?

And there seems to be a lot of hoses that aren’t connected to anything. What are they for? Is the three point lever fully down? That could be putting a relief valve into action if raised to full up.

And I think you may need a third tank return line from the valve to the tractor block BUT I am not 100% positive about that.
