Three Point Lift creeps up on Ford 1200

[Tim_C]

I have a Ford 1200 tractor. Lately the lift arms have been creeping up on their own. It seems like it might be related to cold weather, but I'm not sure about that. In a few minutes the arms will lift to the full up position from the full down position. What causes that? What's the repair?

Thanks

I havn't had much hands on exp with ford hyds past the hundred and early thousand series.. but if they may still be using an unloading valve in that design. I'd look for sticky valves.

What oil you running.. and when was it last changed?

Does that unit have an inspection port to be able to view the hyd cover.. ( hundred and early thou units did. )
