MF 135
The other day I was using my mf 135, and when I lifted the blade the arms would not come down, I removed the side plates, but not sure what to look for, when I move the levers, I can see two pins with springs moving, but cannot tell if something has come loose, anybody have a similar problem

Check for a knob centered below the seat that adjusts the pto descent rate. It can get turned by accident and can lock the 3pt in the up position.

We really need a graphic of this.

No PTO decent knob on the 40 year old Massey. Decent is controlled by the same lever that is not working for the OP. I have read much in the past when I first got my 135 but forgotten most of it. You should be able to google for an answer as I recall reading lots because while I can raise and lower the 3PTH on mine, the other (draft?) control is seized up and I once thought about going in and fixing it and my weak hydraulic system.
