3510 Hydraulic problem.

I suddenly lost almost all action on my bucket. It worked a bit but that finally quit. I thought it was the filter so ordered one and changed it.
While changing I noticed the hose at the front of the filter had come loose. I think I hit something that moved the filter bracket back.
I drove the bracket back so the hose would attach.
But now I have nothing on the bucket and the 3 pt hitch will slowly come up at high revs. The steering is fine. After a little ride to check the steering the 3 pt hitch doesn't come up now either.
There is no lose of fluid that should have happened to fill the filter. I see the oil churning, faster with higher revs but no air bubbles.
I sure would like some help and I thank you I advance.

Got it. It is amazing how well things work when you know what you are doing.
Reading through old posts I saw one on the sight gauge I didn't know was there. Wiping off the dirt, there it was.
Embarrassing as it is I thought you added oil through the overflow can.
Whew, glad I know now.

Almost sounds like the suction screen is plugged. How many hours are on your machine. The power steering has a separate pump from the rest that's why it's working fine. Does the main loader arms go up and down fine or is that slow too? You said that you might have hit something and that a fitting was loose? Make sure it has sufficient amount of oil in it as well.

Awesome glad to hear.
