I have a 1946 JD B with a power lift. I recently added an aftermarket 3-pt hitch to use with my 5ft box blade. At times when I get a significant amount of dirt caught up in the box blade the power lift cannot lift the blade. I have parked the tractor for a couple days with the box blade in the fully elevated position and it won't settle to the ground for a couple days. This tells me the piston and seals are in good working condition and the power lift itself just isn't strong enough if it gets a good load on it. Anybody have thoughts on the power lift performance and integrity of the seals?
