Hydraulic Chute Rotation

[mswanson]

I bought an old Ford 715 2 point snowblower that is set up for hydraulic chute rotation but it didn't have the hyraulic cylinder. I searched on Ebay for one roughly the right length. I hooked it up with 1/4 inch lines to the rear remotes on my NH TC33 and it is acting differently than I expected. I was expecting to to go out to the end of its stroke when I moved the control handle on my fender one way and then go back when I move the handle the other way. Instead it is going in and out, in and out really fast all while I move the control handle in just one direction. Unfortunately I don't know that much about hydraulics. To me it seems like there is something wrong with the cylinder. Can anyone give me an opinion on what is going on? thanks!

Two questions: 1. Have you used the valve for other applications without problems? 2. Have you used it enough to bleed the air out of the cylinder? I am curious as to how the cylinder rotates the chute. On my unit the hydraulic cylinder moves a swing arm and a cable runs from one end of the swing arm, wraps around the chute and then back to the other end of the seing arm. It is a really simple system that works well.

Yes, it's a dupe of this post. No, it's not allowed, but it's not detected automatically.
