I've been a heavy equipment mechanic for about 20 years. I owned my own shop from 2002 until 2015. I now run two truck shops for a large company. I have a fleet of about 50 industrial trucks that run tons of hydraulics on them. Before owning my own shop, I worked for Case IH and was certified in the electric and hydraulic systems of the (then brand new) 2300 series combines. I can go on.... but the point here is, I'm pretty sure that if I can handle PFC electronic hydraulic systems in a garbage truck or a combine, I can help you get the incredibly simple system on your tractor to work.
I'm not impressed with the information you are finding on "other" sites. Not many here have had issues with their loader. There was one thread a year or two back.... I believe he had a bad pump.
At this point, I can't be sure that you have the system right. Why don't you go take some real pictures, in the daylight, and far enough away that I can actually see something. Get them posted the right way too so I don't have to rotate them or wrench my neck to look them over.
Second, I get real frustrated really quick when I'm trying to help a "newbie" on here and they are running to 6 other sites and bringing back other stupid peoples ideas. Please don't make me debunk a bunch a redneck BS.
Post some pics. Now, I'm going to be busy working on some of my stuff today, I'll check in when I can.
It is a simple concept..... if you understand hydraulics. Systems don't get simpler than that one.
Oh, and George knoww a lot of stuff too! He is right about not adjusting the regulator valve just yet.
So, you have a gauge and ready to test?? Pics first though.
