It is a little hard to tell from your photos but it looks like the lift arms are already all the way up. Some questions: Is the fluid at the proper level in the tank? If you have power steering, does it work? The lever is connected directly to the control valve, are you saying there is a hose connected to that valve? If so, where does it go? There should be 3 detent positions for the lever (down, hold, and up). There should also be an up limiter rod with an adjustable stop. It is supposed to be set so that just as the lift arms get to the top of their travel the stop hits the lever and knocks it out of the up position and causes it to go to the hold position. Do you have a parts manual for your tractor? Have you tried putting the lever in the down position and then stood on the lift arms to try and force them down? Do you hear the pressure relief valve open when you put the lever in the up position?
I loosened up that stop, it didn’t appear to be doing anything. I have moved the lever to lower, but not yet tried to put weight on it at the same time.
no sir I don’t have a manual.
i haven’t noticed hearing any pressure relief valve.
I filled the hydraulic fluid on the back side of the machine. There is a bolt with a square end and an overflow there.
The steering seems to work fine.
there is a hose that is connected to the front end loader control lever. I believe it’s the fifth hose connected there. If you start at that lever, and follow the hose it winds up at what o believe to be the hitch control level (Pic). When I engage that hitch control lever to R (raise) the hose “moves” as if it was filling with fluid.
with the tractor off I can move the hitch arms up and down.
maybe it is stuck in the up position…I know when I pull the lever back to Raise the hitch I have to give the tractor throttle or it wants to die. Kind of like it’s working too hard
