Help Please - three point lifting arms stuck full up

Pilothawk · Aug 22, 2009

I have a relatively new John Deere 5320. It has been trouble free, but today when I went out to attach the rake, the lift arms are stuck in the full up position and will not come down.

Yes, I can take it into the shop sometime next week (I hope), but I need to get this grass out of the field.

Any ideas?

Broken O ring or spring inside, rockshaft houseing will have to come off to fix.

one thing to look for is some tractor have a shut off on the 3pt that wont alow it to lower .it can be set to adjust the speed the 3pt drops. also i have seen the 3pt just stick in the up position from lack of ues . if you have a tractor with a loader try using it to push down on 3pt arms. or you can hook a chain to the arms then hook other end to truck tree pull foward see if it well come down. make sure you have the 3pt lever in lower position. if it been working i am betting it something simple.

Most likely sticking. My 7700 done that all the time. So does my freinds.
Sometimes you can jump up and down on the the 3 point and it will lower. If not, push 3 point down with front end loader. Mark
