Lift arms are very weak, several minutes to raise with no load. Will not lift with a load. FEL and remotes function flawlessly. The adjustment below the seat is very hard to turn. 300 or so hours on tractor, sits for extended periods in off seasons. Adjustment lever feels normal, it drops the lift arms in the expected range. They just don't come back up like they should?

Not familiar with your particular tractor, maybe check the draft control position could possibly be the culprit.

Thank you for replying!

Should read 6500 2wd.

Tried moving the draft lever, no noticeable change in performance.

Have you ever replaced the strainer filter that goes into the lift housing?

I think the valve under the seat is all the way open, but it turns incredibly hard.

Strainer filter, is this in or under the housing for the adjustment valve (below front of seat)?

its fixed to a metal pipe that goes into the lift housing right beside the adjustment valve. You have to take the rubber boot off about halfway in the floorboard and then a flange slides out the way that helps hold it to the lift housing... you will need a new one though since it will most likely ruin the seat of the old one when you take it out... it dosnt really look like a filter until you pull it out of there.

Just happened to have a 3325 outside.. same filter style though. P# 000051197D01 think they run around $30 and you will want to get the Oring that goes on it.

it is also possible that your control valve is stopped up or not working right... you can take it out to be sure its opening and closing like it should.. brake cleaner never hurts while you have it out.
