Backhoe no dipper function

[Jim.ME]

The dipper is the stick between the boom and bucket

This should explain it. Backhoe functions and terminology

Thank you very much, now I don't feel so dumb. So it just controls the movement of the bucket. Dipper arm is kind of a stupid name if you ask me.

I think the first/easiest thing I'd do is undo the four lines from the dipper and boom cylinders (label first, if they're the type of cylinder with both hose connections right beside each other), stick them all in a bucket, and see which ones spit out oil when you operate the dipper control in/out, and then the boom control up/down. Might need a second person watching/holding them. Be careful: Hydraulic fluid under pressure can do some nasty damage to the skin. It'll likely be a bit of a mess, but you shouldn't need to dump much fluid just figuring out what goes where.

remember most deeres have residual pressure all the time you may get some flow all the time from most all the circuits
