Well I hope I posted this question on the right website... im not asking an odd question like skunks or something like that but I will post my original question and hopefully someone will reply !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK I was doing some blading today without any problems. I heard a squealing noise but when I pushed the clutch in it stopped. I noticed the blade was lifting slow. I checked the tran/fluid and it was very very low. I filled it up and had it in neutral and tried to lift the blade ,,,it did but when I took my foot off the clutch it dropped down slow???? Normally it would stay and I would go into 1st and drop it down as I got into position. very weird, I could not get it to hold in neutral. I asked a guy and he said something about a spring ?? or valve , Does anyone know what it could be a how to fix this????????????
 
Kris:

You will get better resonse from the N experts if you post on the 9N, 2N, 8N forum linked above.

That said, how much oil did you add to bring the level up to the proper level on the dipstick?

Not sure, it was probably a gallon at least or 1.5 gal, went up to full on the dipstick,, possibly a little more... why???
 
With the lift control still in the up position, and it drops down when clutch is in (or neutral), that means the hydraulic fluid is leaking, thus allowing the hyd cylinder to leak off & drop. You can remove the right side port (round cover with hyd dip stick in it) and look inside with a good light & often see where the fluid is leaking from. There are 9 potential leak points, some seen easily, some not. You possibly aggravated the problem if you added a low viscosity fluid instead of 90 weight.
