My tractor's loader isn't working. It was working fine before I took it off and then put it back on my tractor. Is there anything I can check and/or fix before I call someone else to come out and look at it?

Do you all go to farm shows? There's one in Fort Wayne, IN January 14-16 I plan on attending. Since it's a bit of a drive, I'll be staying in a hotel so I can take advantage of the educational seminars I want to attend. I'm looking forward to it. It should be both educational and fun!
