Default Cub 149 Loader - hydraulic issue

Hello Everyone,

Been lurking in the shadows here for a while as I built my loader assembly onto my 149. I started with PF Engineering plans (thank you to them!) and changed a couple things.

Anyways, I finally got it all together a couple days ago and the hydraulics work but they are "jumpy" kind of like there isn't enough oil. (I know for a fact there is plenty of oil so thats not the problem) The cylinders will gradually extend to their full length and then boom-down is fine. This happens for both the boom and bucket cylinders.
The other thing I noticed is the hydraulic oil gets "foamy". the first time I figured its because the setup was new and its just a side effect of the pump and empty lines and cylinders. However she sat all day today and when I got home I fired her up and cycled the cylinders..... still foamy.

Have you guys run into this issue with your FELs? Is there a common cause for hydraulic fluid to get foamy? maybe the pump is running too fast? the oil return from the open center valve runs down a 1/2" line to a 90 degree elbow an into my reservoir. Maybe its a fitting issue? (the oil return is at the lowest point of my oil reservoir and below the oil level, so it shouldn't be getting aerated)

Any suggestions or help would be great I really want to get to using this

PS dont mind the mess in the picture

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
