Ok, I will disconnect and reconnect all the quick connectors for the loader.
What is referred to as PB ?? and tank swapped??
Power beyond is the hose that conveys pump pressure from the loader valve to the 3pt and mower. Tank is the hose going to the side of of the transmission.

Dig out your manuals and verify you have those hoses properly connected

I will re-verify! I took pics and labeled everything so I would like to think I got it correct, BUT who knows!
I will complete this task and get back to all of you here! Thanks :)

A simple test. Start the tractor and fully dump bucket. Move 3pt control to full up and then roll the bucket. If the lift comes up when you roll the bucket your tank and PB hoses are reversed.

Hi Dan, Did the test that you asked. No change. Tried it several times . . . . . .
I am sure the lines are all connected correctly, but I've seen people on here before that said that and admitted later they were crossed/ reversed.
I CAN NOT FIGURE THIS OUT!!

Everything worked fine before servicing it with a couple new lines, connectors and fluid & filter change.
Did not adjust or mess with anything else . . . . . . :(

Lol :) I mentioned it yesterday in a post at 4:19 pm. !
So here's some pics of the lines (hoses) in the pic #1 and #2 are lines/hoses and fittings I replaced.
They are all totally in the correct ports as I've now triple checked them with pics, labels and diagrams.
The 2nd pic shows another coupling that went onto one of the new lines/hoses into the control valve body.
Dag gone it, we gotta figure this out! LOL

I got money that says they are not connected properly. All three should go to the control vakve. .Left tk right where do they connect on the cintrol valve? And I wouod expect one set of those couplers to be turned arounx end to end so they can only be connected one way

I think the fastest way resolve this is for you to mark the three lines at the tractor end with colors and then take a picture of that. Then follow each line up to the valve and mark that end of the hoses with the same color as at the tractor. Take a picture of the valve and then post both pictures. Actually you say you have the pictures already so you should be able to post them easily.

How are the hoses between the valve and cylinders connected? Quick disconnects or hose to fitting in valve?

If I'm following your lines they are wrong.
If I am wrong, and they are routed properly, then I would take out the quick disconnects you replaced and see if that fixes the issue.

All three lines do go to the control valve. They are plumbed and hooked up exactly as in the diagram. I used the same diagram but also my pics with labels confirmed every hose is exactly where it was prior to servicing.

Now I did observe that one of the new quick disconnects to the valve body (right before it screws onto the valve body) that the orifice is a lot smaller than the previous one. Not sure if this would be the issue but just an observation.
Tomorrow AM I will take and send more pics with complete descriptions and labels. Thanks so much for everyone participating in this headache of mine!!! 😵

Diagnostic #2

Remove the quick connects from lines 2 and 3 and connect the hoses straight to the pipes.
