I borrowed my MF135 to a friend so he could move the mounted corn picker I sold him, to its new home. The picker snoots were very low and to raise them, the lift lever was moved way back to the area in the quadrant that reads Constant Pumping. This raised the snoots up but the arms have not gone down since. Once the tractor returned from picker delivery, I took the rear/top cover off. Deep into the housing (RH side) I found a plunger about 1/4" in diameter. I moved this plunger and the arms went down. I can feel grooves of wear on this plunger as I move it back and forth. I want to access this plunger and replace it. Looks to me that I will need to split the tractor behind the transmission. But I may need to first remove the transmission cover to access the hose connection that connects to the auxiliary pump. Am I on the right track? Is there a better plan? This is a 6 speed transmission with Multi Power. It has a 2 stage clutch and a Perkins Diesel engine if that matters. Can anyone help? I have an IT manual and I am not sure all the transmission options are discussed. HELP
