I'm frustrated and I hope someone can help me. I bought a 961 last fall and since then have found a number of things wrong with it that were not evident when I bought it and were not told to me. Buyer Beware I guess.
Well, I'm perplexed about the hydralics, namely the 3 point. I thought that you were supposed to be able to move the lever up a little and the 3P would go up a little and stop, down a little on the lever and the 3P goes down a little and stops. Well, thats sure not what mine is doing. It seems there is no place I can put the lever where the 3P won't drift down or go up. I've put the draft control lever in both positions and it doesn't make any difference. I'm assuming something is wrong but what? Second issue I have is that if the tractor sits for a while (and I've found this can be anything from a few days to a week or two, the hyd pump loses prime. Now I know what the 3" nipple with a cap on it screwed into the pump is, you take the cap off till the pump gets some oil in it then back on before it starts spitting oil out at you!
Any suggestions or knowledge would be much appreciated.
