ford 3000 top cover

All, removed the top cover off the new to me 1970 3000. Had to get the touch control lever unstuck. Fixed the return line tube as well as the bracket had broken. Put it all back together and the rockshaft arms wont go all the way down. Presently about 4-5" from the axle tubes. When I move the touch control lever up the arms move maybe 1/4" and stop. I've tried picking up the arms and dropping them and no luck. I'm going to take the cover back off tomorrow but wanted some insight before I do it again. That thing's pretty heavy to keep lifing off and on with no help! As a side note the tractor sat for a while without being used but all was working properly when it was parked.
 
Found the problem today. The shaft between the lift piston and rock shaft came out of place when I reinstalled the top cover. Put it back where it went and voilà she works like a champ
