I thought you had stated someplace that it would stay up overnight if the stop valve was closed. "If" that is the case then the piston seal cannot be at fault.
According to its operation, after looking at the manual Winston posted, and how it won’t stay up on its own, and the fact that there is a new 3pt valve on the top, I can only assume that the internal piston seals are bad and that is why it will. It support any weight while it is running unless I hold the handle backwards causing fluid to always flow into the cylinder and hitting the pressure relief.
But if you close the stop service valve, and it stayed up the internal O ring should be good, the only place for fluid tO leave the internal cylinder would be past the oring at that point.

Aaron said he had one other that did that he had to replace. That leaker and mine were the only problems he had he said...up to now, sounds like yours is the second leaker. I quess cheap China seals on it must be leaking, there is a small seal in there that that pin goes through.Correct that it will stay up with the lock out valve closed and the box blade attached.
Okay, well if that rules out the piston 100% then I’ve got no other ideas.
Also I’ve had to put my original three point valve back on a bit earlier because I noticed while using my tractor (three point empty and in downward position), using the loader to move some dirt and an old burn pile around, the new 3 point valve is leaking out quite a bit of hydraulic fluid from the seal around the “spool pin”. My original one did not/does not do this.
If it leaks, I'm sure he'll make it good.
How is the loaded valve plumbed ? Is the hp line just cut, then goes into the loader valve then out of the loader valve into the 3 point like most are plumbed ?
Wonder if it's possible to leak back through that loaded valve, and back to the sump.
It may be worth a try to test it. Disconnect the loader valve .You have tried other things. this wouldn't cost anything to try. Maybe a couple of plugs, or connectors
Good thinking, but he was the one that put the loader on it, and it acted this way prior to loader install I thought?
Yea i was thinking the leaky valve may be a good thing since he has to swap it anyway he may refund you?? I have no idea, worth a shot if I were you.
