I have a 50 series JD and the power-trol is giving me some troubles. It lifts 1200 lb. hay bales find but does not keep them up in the neutral position. I have to hold the lever forward to keep it up. Is this a check valve adjustment and if it is how do I adjust it. Trial and error?

I had the same problem with my 50. Replaced the leather piston seal and O-Ring and she holds great now. Problem is, you have to remove the powr-trol unit, the rockshafts, and the rockshaft arm inside the rockshaft housing to get at the piston.

I just found a video on the web that I think will be of great use to me in the replacing process. Thanks again.

Thanks a bunch for the replys. It sounds like the replacing of the leather seal and the o-ring is a major undertaking. Is it as difficult as it seems?

probably either a blown gasket at the cyclinder/housing area or a blown O ring on the piston...the load you're putting on it is probably at the maximum for the unit....
