Hey everyone! Thanks for this site!
Hopefully you can help me out.
Bought a 1981 ford 4100, 3cyl, diesel.
The lift arms wont go down. not only that but once i do release the pressure from the system, they simply go aaaaaallllllll the way up, without touching any of the
control levers. So far I've taken off the top plate and checked out the valves on the lift cylinder and all the linkage. the valves were sticking a bit and after polishing up both the valves and the
seats, they move far more freely. however the problem still exists. Ive read that it may be a problem with the selector valve, however I don't have a selector valve, in
it's place there is a simple check valve. I can't really see there being a probelm with it, the spring and ball all move freely in the cage.
I'm at a loss. I invested afair bit into this little tractor and I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. ANY Help at all would be appreciated.
