2007 Case IH DX55
Control valves for the FEL and the rear remotes don't hold the cylinders in place.
The loader bucket has always dropped slowly, but it is now more of a nuisance if I am mowing with the FEL on. It drops inches in minutes.
I've recently added top and tilt cylinders on the rear remotes. Those remotes have barely been used to this point. The tilt cylinder drops over an inch an hour. That causes issues with most rear implements when used for longer periods.
I've tested the rear cylinders by pulling the hoses and letting the rotary mower hang for 24 hours. The cylinders didn't budge. So it looks like the tractor's control valves are causing the leak down. Other than disconnecting hoses, what are my options to reduce the leak-down?
