Thanks again.

Hope I did not answer incorrectly for your TO 30. Maybe someone else can add information.

Clutch in does not drop the lift. Based upon what I have read in the Ford N section (more information there) it sounds like the hydraulics are weak. Again I'm no expert and have had few problems. On a friend's 35 diesel the lift leaks down while waiting at a stoplight with the clutch in. In the N section there is information about how to fix the hydraulics if you are interested. Unless it leaks down fast enough to interfere with what you are doing you might want to consider using it as is. If you back over some brush with the bush hog up and the bush hog is dropping while you are changing to first it might be time to fix.

The N people seem to be saying. Check for the correct amount of hydraulic fluid and the correct weight oil. Make sure there is no water in the oil. Somewhere there is a filter screen that can be cleaned. Water in the oil when left outside in the rain must be a big problem. Freezing water in the hydraulics and transmission is probably the biggest cause of cracked castings. Suspect cracked castings would be an expensive repair.

I live in Greensboro. Actually the tractor was purchased for the female at my house.

Thanks.
