5400 john deere
I've put on a hydraulic remote on my tractor. I took it off my old tractor same model but one year newer. The bucket will go up and down but will not curl. It worked fine on my old tractor but will not operate on my newer one. Any suggestions?

Sorry, but that's not much of an explanation of what took place. What "remote"? Is this a factory remote valve stacked onto the side of the lift housing or is it a dedicated loader valve? Does one valve work and the other not? We can't see what you have or what you've done so your details are all we have to go on.

Uncouple and re-couple your connections to the bucket, often they may just not be fully connected and will give this result. I know the remote has no direct connection to the bucket, but it's worth a try at least.

My new to me tractor did not have the remote for the bucket or loader. I removed all the needed bits from my old tractor and put them on my newer tractor. Added the by remote beside the back tire, added the rear couplings, joystick and everything for the loader remotes. It will only raise the bucket up and down but not curl it. What did I neglect to do

Try swapping the lines from raise - lower to curl dump to see if either function will now operate.
