Hi Guys,
My 1967 135 I bought six months ago has always had somewhat of a weak lift, but it was enough to lift the brush hog and box blade fully. Well here recently it now doesn't want to lift anything more than 6 inches to a foot off the ground. Another observation that's abnormal is the position control has to be at least half way back before the lift arms will start to operate. I've changed the filter and fluids in the past few months.
Can you give me some tips on what to check out? I plan to pull the right side cover and observe the pump for leaks, but I've never done it before so any guidance is appreciated.
Another thing I noticed is that it lifts better without the top link hooked up, so maybe I've got an issue there with the control spring?
Seems like I work on this tractor more than I use it.
Thanks,
Jeff
