Firstly, I don't really understand why there is a reluctance to answer a simple question. But the flow diagram does in fact confirm two systems are indepent. As to my "reluctance" to remove and inspect check valves. After screwing so many things up that were supposed to be simple in my 70...

Not sure you answered my question.... the two sides are independent and a failure on one should not affect the other? If this is correct, not likely that both would have troubles at the same time?

Update on hydraulic issue. Got a test gauge to put on the hose quick connects. Both the lift AND bucket tilt leak pressure, slowly. Each tested separately with all hoses disconnected which eliminates leaky cylinders as the problem. And by the way, relief pressure is around 1700 psi so it is low...

Well, I disconnected my fuel line at the first filter and fuel stream was maybe pencil lead size. Blew into it with my air hose and then fuel stream went to pencil size! Now running great. Of course not ideal since I apparently blew yuck that was blocking fuel tank back into tank. cleaning out...

So..... I am thinking the first things to check are the fuel tank and whether the cap is venting properly. Not exactly sure how to tell if the fuel cap is venting properly, but it did have a lot of congealed dust.....

I think this is an excellent suggestion. Haven't sorted out how to check this yet, but next on my list!!!

Will do. Thanks

Thanks, will keep this in mind. Going to try a few simple things first.

How much fuel is in the tractor? Less that 1/2 tank by the fuel gauge? (BX fuel gauges are notoriously inaccurate...) I can't say. Just now it is 1/2 full. Will give this a try. If so, fill it FULL and see if the same thing happens. A BX with a bad electric lift pump will run fine until tank...

Yes, thought it would be simpler to have two threads instead of confusing the discussion. Tractor has 930 hours and I have changed filters and bodily fluids at recommended intervals or more often. Tractor has never been in the shop.

Checked linkage, all looks ok. Of course, I really don't know what it is supposed to look like! Both up/down and curl have a little bit of play/wiggle before they do anything. Seems reasonable.....

After my BX2670 has gotten nice and warmed up, when operating at high RPM and under load, it will suddenly start running extremely rough. Shakes so bad it will make your fillings fall out. Stopping and taking PTO out of gear doesn't help. Backing off the throttle doesn't help. Only completely...

So.... my front end loader on my bx2670 is wonky. When I first start to raise bucket, it falls instead of raising. Only when I pull all the way back does it start to go up... and really only if RPMs are high. Otherwise, it just falls. If I release to the neutral position, it will stop falling...
