I got the bright Idea to fix what wasn't broke and changed the hoses on the dozer. The hoses have a set of quick releases on both sides. The blade got locked up in the down position. I released the the quick release on the down side and raised the blade hooked the quick releases up and it worked for a time but has locked up again. Do the quick have a flow direction? or any suggestions would help

How old and worn are the quick release connectors. As things wear (balls & collars) the valves may not open for adequate flow.

We had the bright idea on our D2. Used a male end and a female end on each side. Did it carefully one at a time. Did the hydraulic rack at the same time. No way to hook them up wrong now. Works well. Even ran some long hoses from one side to a pull type plow. Is it possible that the hoses are not connected correctly??

That D2 would look brand new if it wasn't for the back of the fuel tank : )

that's called personal experience and development training

your family probably learnt some new words that day.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
