Ok guys now that i have all the seals replaced and water drained out.. I am testing the 3-point lift and have a question. The position control lever only works when the draft control is in the full upright position. When the draft is maybe an inch off the top things settle and the position does nothing again. The draft control assembly doesn't move at all either regardless of position. Also the lift shutters near the top and has hard time going all the way up. Put pressure gauge on and it shows about 200 psi. If i stand on the blade that is hooked up it goes up to about 350 psi. Took the side cover off and looked around inside while moving it up and down. Nothing appears stuck that i can see. The draft cylinder leaks a decent amount of fluid when fully extended so that may need rebuild. The safety valve is not leaking. I can't really see the pressure control valve, think it may be under oil but not sure. There is a lot of oil being flung up onto the side of the case where the pump is and churning in general. Oil gets really foamy after the engine is off. Is that normal? With all the foam its like air is getting agitated into the oil. Stand pipe does not seem to be leaking from either top or bottom that i can tell. The lift speed does change with the side lever so that seems to be ok.
If i shut the engine off the blade stays up and slowly sinks over about a 5 minute period. Is that because of the lift cylinder leaking a bit?
