Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. I saw those two nuts and was going to give them a turn in the morning. After all of the time I have spent on this tractor it never occurred to me that the lever is actually spring loaded. I suppose that if the nuts are adjusted properly one would not notice the spring loading but now that the lever (or nuts) have loosened the spring tension is more evident. I thought that the 'springiness' I was feeling was hydraulic pressure and that if I adjusted the nuts to keep the lever in place (not caving in to the pressure) I might build up pressure in an undesirable way and then pay for it in some other manner. I will get into this in the morning and see how it goes. By the way: do you know where those valves are located that I have heard so many people talk about... the ones that they say they push down on with a little wooden dowel to remove and clean, and they have a ball bearing inside? I's still like to check those. Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know how it turns out. Pete

When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
