After mowing all afternoon, I went to put ol' 8N in the garage and found that I couldn't raise the bush hog. The PTO is still active and the blade turns fine but I can't raise the deck. Seem to be the lever doesn't make anything happen. Can something go bad that fast? What do I need to do to get things back in shape. There are no weird sounds, just no action from the lifting mechanism.
Please Help!!!!

I had the exact same thing happen to mine. I removed the inspection cover on the right side and discovered that the control valve was stuck. I was able to push the valve in by hand and work it in and out until it worked freely again. I also changed the Hydraulic fluid at this time because I noticed that it had water in it. Hope this helps..

Had that same thing happen twice on my 2N. My problem was worn linkage and a yoke that kept coming apart down on the valve. After this happened twice, I put lift chains on it to carry the weight of my bush-hog and never have had the problem again. There was no warning, sound, or damage to anything but my schedule either time this happened. If you've noticed when mowing, the lift lever sometimes will move up, that is the effect of the bouncing mower on the system and was causing my problem.

Where did the lift chains connect to, on both the mower and the tractor? I have a Woods mower that only has wheels on the back, and two chains on front. I don't know where they hook up! Thanks!
