First off, I'm new to this forum and new to Oliver tractors so forgive any ignorance on my part as a newbie.
I bought a piece of property a couple years ago that included an Oliver 1550 Diesel with the deal. The tractor starts and runs fine. The power steering works well, as does the PTO. However, I'm unable to get the 3 point to lower.
It seems stuck in the up position and moving the lever doesn't seem to move the 3 point at all. I can manually lift the arm up and down a small bit and when I move it down it feel like a hard stop against something (as if there's some kind of safety stop or locking mechanism). I'm unable to find anything on the tractor that would indicate it's locked in the up position in any way. I'm hoping that I'm just overlooking something simple and it's not something broken.
Any help I can get from the experts on this forum would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
