I know of no "real" mechanic that would repair a minor leak before fixing the major problem. Unless he is just out for a quick buck and doesn't care about any future buisness. Your job sounds comparable to a mechanic given an engine to overhaul and he starts by changing the sparkplugs. The seal probably cost him 20 bucks with 2 hours of labour, sounds like he needed some fast christmas cash. You should never have paid this guy until the job was completely done. Now to your problem, does the three point drop after you shut the engine off? and does it matter if the control is left up or down? If control is left up, three point should stay up, may leak down overnight with a load, but definatley not right away. If operating the lever with engine off will not drop and stop the hitch with load, I bet your linkage came apart or seized somewhere in the up position. I would buy the manual from the fellow offering it to you and while you wait for it, check for the simple things. Most of the time the most complex seeming problems are the most simplest fixes. If the hitch lifts, you are obviously getting pressure and the valving is at least working in that direction, thats the major issue. Now if it won't lower it means it won't dump the pressure, probably linkage or plugged drain circuit. I am not too familiar with this particular model, but it may have external steel lines, maybe you crimped one off hitting something.

I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
