    951c Tilt Won't Hold

    I had same issue after piston broke in 1 of the tilt cylinders. After i rebuilt both tilt cylinders the bucket would not hold when bucket was used to say back drag. Split hydraulic and pulled relief vale. Had a piece piston metal lodged in there. Removed metal and issue gone. Have pic and will post
