First this was the problem I was having. When I would engage the pto, the lift would raise all the way up and then lower to the position the touch control was set. It would then function properly until the clutch was pressed in.
So far I removed the top cover and replaced the bent control rod with a straight one. And adjusted the linkage per manual specs (position control spring was adjusted too long). Surprisingly the cam follower pin is in great shape. The cylinder is in really good condition but the piston needs replaced.
Now for the pump. It's fairly clean but could use a cleaning. I removed the valves and have them soaking. What I'm not sure of its the intake control valve. Should I be able to move it? It is sticking out about 1/4"and doesn't go in at all and the rocker lever doesn't contact the pump housing like the manual states.
