Hydraulic mower deck stuck

Recommended Posts

We got the tractor running🤗 Now the next issue. I raised the hydraulic mower deck and now it is stuck in the up position and so far I haven’t been able to figure out how to get the hydraulic lift working again. Any suggestions?

The HY-3 lift was used 1964-65.

Here is what we have on it

I will guess the earlier HY-2 would also work

Some of the files may be duplicated.

Check the arm on the hydraulic cylinder .  They can get rusty, damaged and dirty  thus blocking movement of the left downwards.    However, the weight of the mower deck should be sufficient to "drop" the deck.   

 

It sounds like you have something else binding it in place.

Is it possible for the control lever to be slipping on the control valve?   No experience with these units, just throwing it out there.
