641 hydraulic question

The 3-point lever seems to be frozen, can"t move it. It"s been cold but not as cold last night. It was ok yesterday and never happened before. Anybody have comments or ideas? Thanks.

if it moved yesterday but not today, it may have some corrosion.

i'd try a spritz of spray oil and light tapping from a hammer. if you thought there was any ice issues, a few minutes with a heat gun would answer that question.

Cold enough to freeze?? If yes may have some ice in it causing it to lock up

It was 10 above zero this AM but was 10 below last week and no trouble. Heat gun has been on it. I"ll try it again soon.

Cold does funny things at times. could even have some water in the hyd oil but would think it would have caused a problem last week also

Heat gun was on it for an hour, ok now. I left the quadrant lever up so I can use the bucket to plow this coming blizzard. Box blade is mostly for weight anyhow tho I do use it to pull snow away from the shop doors.

Try spraying that area down good with WD40 since that is the type of thing it was made to do as in displace the water or it is likely to freeze up again
