2630 Rear Hydraulics

Just started volunteering at a horse rescue and one of the projects I'm takin on is getting their 2630 up and running. Due to the cold weather this morning didn't see the actual problem but talked enough to narrow it down I think. The front loader has plenty of pressure so the pump should be fine. However, the rear frame mounted backhoe doesn't have any or at the least very minimum pressure. It appears the hydraulic lines go into a unit under the side of the seat which has an engagement level to activate the hydraulics for the backhoe. The lines run from here to a second box which is where the hoses from the backhoe actually connect. Hydraulic fluid runs out of this box when engaged. My guess is this is a pressure valve of some sort and has a bad o-ring. Could this box also be the cause of the no/low hydraulic pressure for the backhoe. (Sure wish I had thought of taking a picture when I was at the tractor.) Hopefully I've explained this well enough to get some help.

Welcome to this forum.
JD 2630 didn't normally have a BH attached. Photo is worth 1000 words so can you please post photos of BH control valves & their attachment to tractor hyd system? BH control valves need to be set up for 2630 closed center hyd system.
You're welcome. I'm looking forward to viewing your tractor/BH photos after you had time to go back to tractor.
Look at the OM. If you don't have a copy, download it from here JD Technical Information Store

It will show you the "live circuit" for attachments. Does it have a PTO driven hydraulic pump? Is there a diverter valve to shutoff the hydraulics to the loader when using the BH? Pictures will definitely help.
Correct backhoe valves set up for closed center hyd don't require a diverter valve to shut off hyd flow to BH valve. Just tee into system for BH hyd's

O-rings & backup washers where male tips plug into breakaway couplers are relatively easy to R&R.

That sounds easier than I was thinking. Does someone happen to have the a parts breakdown or instructions on replacing them. Also, what size are the o-rings or is it just bite the bullet and order from JD?
I'm going to guess your 2630 has the original style breakaway couplers. If my guess is correct you need to remove male hyd tip then using a tool similar to dental pick remove o-ring & back up washers(items 1 & 2) & install new parts in reverse order using ones index finger to set new parts in grooves.

Another thought. Which hydraulic functions jumpy? If the backhoe it could be the backhoe is meant for open center hydraulic system where as that tractor is closed.
Simple test to determine if BH or FEL independent control valve isn't designed for closed center hyd system is disconnect ind control valve return hose from tractor. Then place open return hose into a clean bucket or open hyd filler hole on tractor reservoir then with engine operating activate hyd pressure with valve control lever or levers in neutral & "no hyd oil should exit open return hose" from either BH or FEL control valve oil return hose
