Hello All,
First, thanks for reading. I hate for my first post to be a request for help with a problem on my tractor; however, I figured ask the folks who really know these things!
I picked up a TO30 not too long ago, and have been fixing odd and end little things and finally have got it up and running. The good news is that she runs really strong! But I have a problem in the hydraulic system, and wanted some advice...
My lift will go up and down. However, in order for my lift to go down, I have to be pushing the hydraulic control lever all of the way down. Otherwise, my lift will come up automatically all the way to the top. I've read on line that this may be a dump/unloader valve issue. I've looked in my shop manual for the tractor (I decided to try figuring it out via that way first), but I dont see exactly what that part is.
My question to anyone kind enough to answer, is what do you think this problem may be, and what would be the process to repair it? Thanks so much for your time yall!

Just one quick edit to follow up with my mechanical ability, and terminology familiarity... I only have a little bit, so you may have to dumb things down for me. But this dog gone tractor is trying its hardest to make a mechanic outta me~
