Not stuck 165D hydraulic issues

[millard762]

Can't open attachment. So, I have had the lever stick and then the bucket will lower normally, but will keep going downward until the front end lifts up. So I have to shut tractor down to get it unstuck. When I get it unstuck, it goes back to moving slowly downward

Might consider swapping hoses from lift to dump and see what happens. That should identify hose problems verses valve problems as same hoses will be on the lift and dump but working on different side of control valve. Hope that makes sense.

Ok, thanks! If I have time before work tomorrow, I will give it a try

Looking at your pictograph it looks like as you push your boom lever ahead you should get into a power lower which would lift the tires as it powers the boom down,
if you push it further ahead you should go into a "detented" float position which would allow gravity and ground to float your boom up or down with no hydraulic force.
The detent control is usually located in a cylinder style enclosure on the far end of the valve spool. Those can be removed and cleaned, as they can accumulate dirt and rust and other garbage.
Just be aware that most of them contain springs ( for self centering) and balls to snap into a groove with springs for the detents.

So, would that be the long orange cylinder on the backside of the boom valve?

I would expect so, that's were all the ones I've had to take apart were.

Ok, wasn't able to get to it today. Hopefully tomorrow

I got it figured out.

Surely you are going to tell us what you figured out!

It really isn't a fix, as there is still an issue. But, when I lower the bucket and it sticks and I let it go all the way down until it stops or lifts the front end, I have to tap on the lever with a hammer to get it unstuck. However, if I lower bucket and if I pull back on lever rapidly, it will not stick, but I can feel where it catches. If this all makes sense
