B7100 hst implement arm raises but doesnt lower. I suspect the control valve.has any one else run into this?

Have you checked your Rate of Drop (ROD) knob to make sure it's not all the way closed? This knob controls the speed that the arms lower at and can stop them from lowering if completely closed.

Yes, I even backed it off counter clock wise to be sure. It was working and then Quit as I was finishing up my drive. It was also making noise when I lifted the blade.

I saw that you also posted in the Hydraulics forum. That's probably a better area for this, so I'll watch how this comes out in that thread.
