Big help - thank you whitetiger!

Ok - will search information on 'port relief pressure setting' - Hoping someone can advise the proper setting & method of setting? Wondering if this was the issue all along - would this cause the dipper stick to kick-out and lose power?

I purchased my chains from tirechains.com for my rear tires only. Even though I purchased by tire size, I still needed extensions and cross links to get them to fit. Tirechains sent me the extensions and cross links for free & because of the trouble, they sent me an upgraded chain tensioning...

The photos are of the hydraulic controls on a BH77 backhoe. Please notice that some of the valves have an adjustment on the topside of the valve. It has a slotted screw in the top and is adjustable after loosening the nut. I'm interested to know what this adjustment does and any advice on...

Please see the photo of the BH77 backhoe hydraulic controls. The one with the duct tape on the shaft in the control for the dipper stick, (both out and in) (believe this is called the spool valve). I noticed the screw and nut on top of the control and decided to open it up. After powering down...

Yes, arm = dipperstick. Boom lifts up and down, arm is between the boom and the bucket. I haven't checked all different positions of failure yet, but it fails with the boom halfway out, and the bucket digging into the dirt from the surface to 3' down. The bucket is pulling through the dirt...

To mdhughes: Great video! Thank you. I found exactly what you found in the video and tightened the linkages and to prevent issues used cotton swab of hydraulic fluid on the top of each piston / dip stick, along with some WD40 on the arm joints. Certainly improved the feel of the controls, but...

At the bottom of the linkages there seem to be some adjustments - is there an adjustment that would change the amount of pull in the arm? (Wondering why it would have changed...)

See attachment of linkage photo

Everything looks in order Would like to attach a photo, but could not load - help?

Thanks for the input - will check tomorrow - assuming that linkages would be right under the joystick?

When operating the BH77 backhoe, retracting the arm intermittently loses power. Typically, the tractor can be moved forward and backward with just the arm. But when the power kicks out, I can barely lift dirt out of a hole. I can sometimes sense when the arm power kicks out - it feels like a...
