Hydraulics not working completely

[dward]

Hi,
L 2900 2009 Model.

I broke a hydraulic hose (the one that goes to the backhoe (back hoe was not on the tractor at the time. Lost alot of fluid I removed the hose and placed a plug where the hose normally hooks up. I have re-fillled the hydraulic sump however the rear 3 Point arms will not move and the front loader will go up but you have to hit the right spot on the conrol arm to get it to move. It will not go down unless you push the control all the way in. Can any one give me some suggestions as to what might be wrong.
Thanks Dave Ward

The hose that you broke functions as a "return to tank" when the BH isn't on --- You need that return to tank in order to complete the hydraulic loop if there isn't another one. I think you'll fix your problem if you replace the hose and take out the plug.
