My Grandpa has been working on fixing up an old Kelley 30 backhoe for his Kubota, but we've been having trouble getting it to move. He replaced all the lines and 2 of the cylinders. We have all the lines hooked up correctly except one control was backwards, it still should work with that though just reverses the directions. I've been having trouble getting the hydraulics to move though, they extend sometimes, very slowly, and other times they jump about a millimeter and refuse to move at all. None of the hydraulics will contract they'll only extend. when I tried to bleed off the cylinder milky oil came out which I'm guessing was water and oil combined. Air came out as well.
I'm mostly curious about how I can bleed the cylinders, there is no bleeder valve that I can see. To my understanding, you move it back and forth and it bleeds but I can't get it to move.
I've also been reading up on troubleshooting. so if I come across the solution to my problem I will update the thread. What would you guys recommend troubleshooting to narrow down what could be my problems?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you for reading this.
