B 26/20... 2013 very low time. Now my tale of woe:

Today, after hearing a weather forecast for snow, I removed the FEL and hung the plow. The plow wouldn't move at all... After checking the hose hook-ups and finding no problems in that area. I moved the control lever thru all of it's positions.. Many times, and at high and low RPMS.. the blade would move a bit... but intermittently... and not thru it's full range. The blade sometimes moved the wrong way; i.e. up and down and or L&R when it should have moved in the proper directions. Never saw a full range of movement. (the tractor is sitting outdoors right now) All other hydraulics are working perfectly...

Other times when swapping loader for plow I have seen signs of a bit of air in the system.... but it quickly set itself to rights.

Steve.

I would recheck the hose connections. Sounds like one of the couplers is not fully seated or the quick connect coupling is bad.

Thanks Mike. You and my wife were totally correct. The Yellow and Orange IDs, when covered with dusty oil look pretty much the same....

Again, many thanks.
