Gremlins it is.

Thought I'd send the conclusion and thanks. Neighbor and I took apart the cylinder, seals looked great, inside looked great. Put it all back together and worked like a champ. He and i think someone else on this thread speculated that some air so egow got in and screwed things up, im thinking...

Good call - ill be at it soon enough.

Oh boy, sounds beyond me, but ill post back, going to tackle this tomorrow.

I'm sure it's my poor explanation. Need to shar0en my skills in general. I'm not fully following you, but this gives me something specific to search on. Stay tuned, ill be trying later today. Appreciate all of the insight

Feels like ot. There's some slight movement in the bucket and the arm will still go up and down, so somethings engaged hydraulically.

If that is the lock feature on the arm that controls the hydraulics, I don't believe so, but have both locked and unlocked it.

It is. I've looked as closely as I can with the limited understanding I have. I did think to try that, and removed and replaced all hoses. I feel like it's some kind of forced lock position, but I can't find anyone who's run into it.

Went to load it, bucket felt like it dropped down. Stuck in asphalt, had to lift arm to unstuck it. Now bucket won't curl up or down??
