Need help with front loader lift

[Qapla]

We have a NH TC40D with a NH 16LA Front Loader

The stick to operate the loader is to the right of the seat. Side-to-side movement makes the bucket curl/dump. Forward/Back is the lift operation. It has been working just fine .... until yesterday

Now, when you lift, it will raise the bucket about 2 feet off the ground and stop. If you push the stick back forward, it will lower to the ground just fine. Pull it back and the 2 foot lift then STOP! Curl works just fine.

So far we tried taking one of the lift cylinders off to see if it will extend properly. It will not extend when we use the stick. We also noticed that, if we loosen both of the hoses going to the cylinder, it will spray fluid out of both ends when we move the stick one way, but hardly and fluid out of either end when we move it the other way.

If we disconnect the cylinder completely, we can push it in or pull it our without restriction.

This problem occurred without any warning. One lift it was working fine, the next lift .... STOP

Any ideas?

Yep. In hook and research couplers.

Auto-correct issues? LOL

Unhook and reseat the couplers. That fix's 99% of the "my loader won't xxxxx" problems.

Thanks Guys!

When I checked, the bottom QD was, indeed, popped out. It was still sitting in the coupler, but it was not actually plugged in. Plugged it back in and all is good! :thumbsup:

The first actor to speak Klingon wasnt portraying a klingon.at the time, but he was a brilliant engineer . Three guesses as to who he was.
