Replaced two hoses on FEL and now hydraulics wont work

[sparky1969]

I replaced a hose on fel lift cylinder that went to hard line that crosses over to other side and one from hard line from tractor to tel valve block and added some hydraulic fluid. Now hydraulics to backhoe don't work, fel will not come down with tractor running. Will air in lines cause this, how do I bleed it? Tractor is BX22 with belly mower. Help please.

I had to replace one of the tubes that run down the boom but it only took a few cycles of the joystick to purge the air before the curl started working.
I would check your hose connections to be sure they are sealed and cycle the loader several times it should come back.
If you think you need to you could crack the hose connections to bleed them a bit, just slightly or you'll have fluid everywhere.
Hope you get it sorted out..

Thanks for the reply. I have not cracked the fittings yet, but have checked all the fittings that I have messed with. I have undone the quick connects and hooked them back up and it will work for a little bit after that.
