Ford Front Bucket

[tomjr]

How do you bleed the hydraulic line to eliminate air in the line. I have a Ford 770 front end loader and after replacing 2 lines on right, it goes up, but when I lower it, it goes down then goes up again. Also, it will not lift more then about 10 pounds or maintain the lift. Can anybody help?

Just cycle the cylinders about 10 times, and the air should purge itself.

Install a hyd gage and check your relief pressure, and reset if necessary.

Make sure your hoses are installed correctly....double-check.....if so then you may have trouble with your cylinders internally (blown seal/loose nut ect)

Appreciate the help. Thanks

You may wanna remove the hoses and make sure they didn't get crimped too tight or a blockage of sorts

my 735 loader book says run for 15 mins moving up and down to bleed..
