Hood s182 hydraulic problem

[sshier]

Hi
I've got a problem with my loader that i cannot figure out. I had the harmonic damper seperate last tuesday and after 4 days tracking that down finaly got it back together. Now my swing gear and outriggers wont work im positive its cause is air in the line sense i had to unhook the pump off the front of the motor. Try as i may i cant find a bleeder for this circut so if anyone can help me find what im missing the help would be appressiated

I've never seen a bleed circut on a hood loader,  don't think you're gonna find one. I'd try hooking up the supply line to the pump but leave the pressure line unhooked and start the loader to see if you have oil goin thru the pump and make sure the pump is turning.  I've actually never had a hydraulic circut get air bound and have to bleed it, but maybe it can happen.

Thanks for the reply i finnaly got it working. I ended up putting some air to the oil tank and it helped prime the pump wish i would have thought about it earlyer now its catch up time thanks again

Hopefully it didn't ruin a section of your pump running it dry that way.
