Boomer 8N 3pt

Ncorrigible · May 9, 2022

OK - I know it isn't a real YT, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I have Boomer 8N #00033 and it has been a wonderful conversation piece for several years and I have darn near 300 hours on it. I was using it to moove
(oops - bovian slip) some trailers and the 3 pt stuck fully raised. Running, stopped, cold, warm, the 3pt will not lower. the rest of the hydro seems fine - loader lift/lower dump/return are all fine. The 3 pt just will not lower. Since it last worked I have checked engine and transmission oil, 3pt oil level and main hydraulic oil level - no issues. when I checked the 3 pt oil there was a bit of air when I pulled out the dipstick. Nothing I have done has helped or hurt.

Is there a relief point somewhere? I really need the 3pt in the coming days. Thanx - Paul

Try turning the knob under the seat counter clock ways.

Any chance that the flow control valve,
rate of drop valve was turned in? Try
turning it to faster and see if you can
move it then.

That was it.... Someone thought it was the seat spring adjustment.

Thank You both.
