New to this forum, hopefully someone can help. Here is what I have: model 70D from my late grandfather with a 45 loader and a 3-point hitch. The 45 loader is plumbed to the side of the Powr Trol, not to the back.
Just hooked up the 3-point a week ago and everything worked as expected except that I noticed a slight amount of down drift. I pulled the check valves and cleaned them, no scoring on the bearings, everything else looked clean.
When I reinstalled them, the fun began. When I put the lever in the raise position, both the 3 point and the blade raise simultaneously, or nearly. Once I release the lever (EDIT: once the lever is in the neutral position), the 3-point blade lowers (but not all the way) and the 45 loader raises by a similar amount. So somehow oil seems to be transferring from the rockshaft cylinder to the remote cylinders. However, once they equalize, there does not appear to be any downward drift.
If I disconnect the bucket (using Pioneer quick-connects from the side), the 3-point raises and lowers as expected with only a very minor amount of drift.
I have the SM-2011 service manual, owner's manual, part's manual, and the 70D service manual, but I am afraid I am just not that experienced at this, so any help anyone can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: If anyone has the colored pages of the SM-2011 they can send me, I would appreciate it. Mine is not color and so those pages are not all that useful.
