Good morning all, I'm new to this forum as well as tractors so please bare with me...
I recently purchased a Ford 851 that had some issues but I got a good deal on it and I've been handy with a wrench so I decided to give it a go. The problem I'm having is my lift comes up but I can push the arms down by hand even while the engine is running. It could probably lift less than a couple pounds if need be. Also it seems to be lifting to the highest point regardless of where the handle is set. I've read about the lift cylinder o rings as well as the safety valve, but before I jump into that I wanted other opinions.
Any help is appreciated!
