Hey Guys, as it says in title, I'm having a slight problem. I recently had to change a hydraulic line going to the main pump for my bucket. I have 2 pumps but the other is for winches. I turned the valve off at the tank, removed the hoses and took hydraulic pump off of PTO to clean while hoses were removed. But while I was gone all the fluid leaked out of my tank (apparently valve will not turn off all the way). So I replaced hose, filled tank back up, and put everything back together. Started up, put PTO in gear and jumped in bucket. It will barely move (and I mean barely move) from bucket controls. It moves a little better from ground controls but not much. Rotation seem ok .Outriggers seemed to go down ok.

But the bucket wont hardly do anything. This is an open system and air should have worked out after 2 hours of trying to move everything I can. Any ideas ?
 
turns out I had mistakenly turned the adjustment on pump. Turned it back everything's fine........My bad !
