Hi guys, I have let my tractor sit for the last week or so, I left the 3 point lift lever in the down position. I started it the other day and the lift wouldn't go up. After several attempts and shutting it off and moving the lever back and forth and starting it in the up position it worked. I moved some stuff with it and used the tractor to lift some shingle as I was shingling my garage roof.
Today I started the tractor up, no lift, I didn't have the time to jerk with it so I moved it with the forks dragging on the ground. The lever get's very difficult to move to the full up position, if I flip the draft control lever it goes up easy but still won't work. I tried shutting the tractor off and moving the lever to the up position and no go. To be clear ,the lever goes to the up position very easily when the tractor is shut off. It's a gas tractor if that matters. I'm hoping it's nothing to serious as I am building a 3 point winch to drag some trees out for firewood. I'll check the fluid level tomorrow if it's not too crappy out.
Thanks,
Dave
