The bottom of the bucket is always set flat on the floor when the loader is removed, and it's flat on the floor now.
There is no pressure in the tractor hydraulic system. The engine is always off when I try to install or remove the loader. I always move the loader joystick to all four positions and hold it in each for a couple of seconds before connecting the fittings.
The nipple in each of the tractor male fittings can be easily pushed in with a fingertip, and no oil comes out when it's pushed in.
It's 11P here in Missouri, and I just tried again and got it. There was pressure in the loader lines.
I was able to push in the nipples in 2 of the female loader fittings and relieve pressure in either the bucket or boom circuit - couldn't tell which because the 4 hoses run in a sheath.
I wasn't strong enough to push in the nipples in the other 2 hoses, and wasn't strong enough to loosen the fittings on the ends of the floppy hoses - there's no possibility I could loosen the fittings.
The solution was a drift with a cupped end against the nipple in the fitting, and 15 or so hits with a hammer. A little oil squirted out each whack and pressure was finally relieved.
When removing the loader in the future, I'll back the tractor away from the loader, then turn off the engine and operate the joystick before unhooking the hoses, same as before connecting them.
Thanks all for the ideas.
Can I be the only guy that's had this problem? One more line in the loader removal section would have been helpful.
