I just got this tractor. It is a 1989 Ford 1520 4wd 23hp compact with Front End Loader. 1200 hrs
Shut it down yesterday with the shredder on the 3 pt and it was in the air. Cane out this morning and it was still in the air where I left it. Started it up and after about 30 minutes of shredding and FEL work, I noticed a jerk. Couldnt figure it out at first. Looked back and the shredder would slowly drop a coouple inches down, and then jerk back up. Went it jerks back up, it can felt felt on the whole tractor. Does not matter at what height the 3 pt implement is raised, it still does it. Does not matter if the front loader is in use or on the ground, it still does it. Also, when you use the lever to rais or lower the 3pt it happens in jerks, its not smooth. Then, when you turn the tractor off, it bleeds down.
I checked the hydr fluid and it is full. I do not detect any leaks. Wanted to get some suggestions. Thanks.
