I have two nagging problems on my D17/3. The lift arms creep down and the power steering gets harder and harder to turn. Anyone have experience with either solution?

The arms will creep down over time. Every D-17 I ever had did the same thing. The older they are the more they creep. There is a transport valve that was an option that allowed the implements to stay up during tranport.

Re: the arms going down.
Could be the check valve in the pump/valve assembly not seating good...OR could be a small leak in the hose inside the lift housing.
If the rear end/transmission is gaining fluid, it's probably a leaking hose.

My only guess would be low fluid in either. Change the power steering and clean the plug thorougly before reinstalling. If it has been a while, I would also soak the filler in gasoline to clean it out as it doubles as a breather. As to the 3 point, check the fluid level. If it is milky because of water, change it. It is cheap insurance to change it anyway. Another possibility is the lever for raising the 3 pt arms. If it is loose, it might vibrate down and allow the 3 pt to sag.

If you don't have one, a D17 OPERATOR'S manual would be an excellent investment and answer many, many questions. I think the YTStore has them.
