FORD 1715 4WD
Today I was using the ford 1715 tractor and the loader would not raise up above 4 feet. It just stops and will not move. Its never done this before so I don't have a clue.:confused3: Please Help!!!!

The front loader is a ford 7108.

Reseat your quick connects. That's the typical reaction when one of the quick connects pops out. Lots of us have had the exact thing happen. You probably would have to look very close to see it, but reseating them should get you back in business.

That is very likely the problem.
If the hydraulic fluid was low would it also cause the same problem?

Okay, I will do that in the morning. I noticed tonight after looking over it, some of the lines have a very slight leaks. Is there a good after market replacement for the hydraulic lines?

Many auto parts stores make hoses. Try NAPA or O'rielly if you have those near by. There are also places online whose names escape me at the moment.

Brad, if your quick-connects are seeping, there are replacement o-rings that will fix that problem. A New Holland dealer should be able to help you. Their o-rings will be expensive ($2 to $3), but you'll get the right one with no hassle. If other lines are leaking, you might try snugging up the connection first. If the hoses are actually seeping around fittings, then you'll have to go to replacement. I find that my NH dealer always has the right hoses and fittings in stock. That may be true of other places too, but I get hoses made at my dealer and walk out with the correct repair part. I expect to pay a bit more for that convenience. My dealer keeps me going with minimum downtime. Unless you know exactly what you need, I'd suggest going to your NH dealer.

Thanks for all information. I'm new to ownership of a tractor so I'm sure I'm asking some repeat question.
