I’ve got an 07 case cx160, had the bucket cylinder rebuilt. Put it back on and now the bucket close the stick and the LH track are slow as molasses. Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Did you rebuild the cylinder yourself, take it all off, or just just take the rod end out or how?

Which brand seals did you get. Case quoted me $800 for that seal kit. Link belt seal kits on ebay are $75.00

You could loosen the lines at the cylinder and cycle it and make sure there is no air in them.

Just fluid squeezing out.

Tighten back up before you change the stroke direction to keep it from sucking air.

Also check the fluid level in the tank.
