This was exactly the problem. By tightening the nut and the jam nut I was able to control how tight the lever is and it doesn't drop any longer. Much easier fix than hydraulics. Thanks.
The only other control is the rate of drop dial under the seat. If I tighten that too much then the 3ph does not come down at all. I’ll look for other adjustments on or around the 3ph control lever
The 3ph on my Massey 1528 compact tractor won’t stay up. Both the 3ph and the 3ph position control lever drop if the control lever is not continuously raised. It started as a slow drop taking about 2-3 minutes to drop from full height to now dropping in about 15 seconds and I constantly need to...
I had a similar issue with my compact tractor where low rpm was fine but brush hogging at high rpm would cause the engine to bog. Turns out there was a twig in the fuel tank obstructing flow. Now when that happens I push air up towards fuel tank to remove any material preventing flow. I’m sure...
Did you ever find where the pressure relief valve is for the FEL? I have a Massey 1528 and am looking to test the FEL pressure and adjust the relief valve if needed. I expect it will be similar to the 1532.
