Cable looks good, but it only goes up but not down on reverse.
one of the reverse cable works on forward, but when pulled to reverse it doesn't work
 
Both cables work on forward? One doesn’t work in reverse? More detail?
 
i know from experience that if the cable has any type of kink in it or if broken at all, it will cause that similar issue. Sounds like the cable/cables need to be replaced. If so teleflex makes the exact length cables for significantly cheaper than OEM.
 
Is it possibly a problem with the controls and not the cable?
 
It sounds like when he pulls the shift lever at the controller to reverse, the bucket doesnt drop. But moving the shift lever to forward raises the bucket. Its Possible that the 1 cable that doesnt move forward/reverse is not attached to the shift lever; but unlikely. If the other shift cable is attached to the bucket properly and only shifts one way, than the cable likely needs replacement.
