My Case 380LL (DB 885) 3-point is very slow to drop. I changed fluid last winter due to moisture problems. It's worked fine since then until recently, now it lifts fine but takes forever to return down. Where should I start my venture? Thanks in advance for all who help.

Ok Scott, My 380LL service book shows 4 things to check in trouble shooting chart on lift not lowering. 1. Safety latch engaged...disengage, 2. Rate of lowering shut off...Turn rate of lowering control faster., 3. Selector lever in TCU and the 3 point hitch control lever all the way down....Pull the 3 point hitch control lever up to the position marked TCU position. 4. Dirty or stuck valves in the 3 point hitch control valve...Remove the control valve and clean the valves. I have a good service manual and parts book for that 380LL in a binder for sale that I no longer need.

Glen - thanks very much for the response. The problem must be related to a dirty valve based on suggestions. Not sure how to clean this or replace it. The rate of lift works properly when adjusting the rate control, but it continues to drop very slowly (2-3 minutes) with a blade attached when in the fast posotion. I may be interested in the service manual you have. I"ve built homes and worked with small engines, but not much experience with heavy equipment, so I"m not sure if I should tackle this. I"d like to, but sometimes time is better spent on what I know. Thanks again for your response. Scott

You might want to check your local dealers and see who has a mechanic that knows the Case/David Browns. Check both the ag dealers and the industrial dealers. The service manual gets pretty in depth about overhauls and operations of hydraulics. I bought it mainly for the electrical information in it and the parts manual was handy to have but seldom used it. Just change alternators and rewired our 380 different from original. Sold our 380 last year and miss it because it was a good little tractor. The 3 point on ours was always kind of jerky with a blade and seemed you were always setting something to get it to work right but we never had to go into the valve controls on it. If you really need the manual later just let know. I think I have a few special light bulbs yet for that tractor and maybe some other parts. The guy that bought ours didn't want that stuff so I still got it. Good luck with it.

Scott, Elmer should be able to help you when he gets here. He knows the David Browns. We use to have a 380LL and the lift was always slow going down without weight on it. You have some adjustment for that and could also be a valve problem some too. I still have some 380 books and will look later to see if you need more help.
