Is there one certain check valve that keeps the 3pt arms from settling over night?. Have a 72 4020syncro that will hold a 7 ft shredder up all winter but my 72 power shift will drop the arms overnight
 
I bought my first JD in 1972, a 1967 4020. Had the same issue about slowly dropping. Dealer told me that was a "safety feature".
 
(quoted from post at 16:05:25 04/17/15) Dealer told me that was a "safety feature".

I guess my 4255 missed the safety check as the 3 pt will stay up for months at a time and isn't stuck up either. The JD dealer that told you that "safety story" probably had some ocean front property in Arizona he'd sell you worth the $$$$ also. :wink:
 
Sold 4620s new that settled fairly quickly.
Deere claimed it was safety feature.....
If you left your plow in the air and kids
were playing they might drop it on someone.
They claimed that if one didn't settle that's
the one that needed working on.
That being said, I've seen many tractors that
didn't settle.
 
makes sence to me , powershift looses every thing when turn off, no brakes or steering either,had one for over 20yrs never had a problem.But servied it when you where suppose to as well.

This was from Deere's service rep.
I didn't say I believed it... just what I was told.
Sounded reasonable but I wondered if it might just
have been an excuse that they couldn't be fixed.
Same as Deere blaming poor utility tractor brake design
on off brand oil or water in oil.
I've had to replace too many that had clean Deere oil
and had no water. Even tractors less than a year old.
It took Deere way too long to go away from that paper
facing. They should have made that change in just a few
years instead of losing customers.
 

D-
I wasn't trying to imply that you didn't hear a JD representative state the "3 pt safety feature" just that I never heard that safety statement at a JD sales meeting!
