Snow kubota 1100

hi everyone. posted thread earlier about hydraulic tank on my 1100. located it under seat tray and found hyd hose with high pressure leak. the leaky hose ran from the pump around the hydraulic tank to the hydraulic control for the box with the lever that controls the box up and down and the hyd angle plow. I got the hose replaced and refilled the tank, started it up and thankfully no more leak. the problem is there is a rocker switch on the dash that changes the lever usage from the box to the plow. when in the box position everything works fine but in the plow position the plow will start to turn then stop and the box will go up. my first thought was the electric valve that switches it from one to the other not completely switching but I wondered if this could be caused by an air lock in the hyd hoses going to the plow angle rams. angling is the only function of the hyd on the plow as the lift works on an electric actuator. any thoughts on this from you hyd experts out there will be greatly appreciated. also if any one is sure where the electric switch over valve is let me know I think it is on the frame rail on the right hand side under the box but I am no specialist on hydraulics. thanks in advance for any replys and god bless those who take their time to help others. keep that equipment running , 01hunter570

I'm no hyd expert, but I know air in the system would mess stuff up, but if the switch is working the valves, the air would not just make it switch back to the box. I'd bypass the switch to isolate that. Good luck

Usualy hyd systems are prety self bleeding..ones that have a pump with a resivor above. Try cycling the rams more.
