I had a problem earlier this year but I didn't get any replies. I hope someone can help me with this.
I have one of the older Cub Cadet 7234 models with just under 700 hours, I bought new back in 1996 or so. It has the Mitsubishi 23 HP engine and drivetrain. I've used it this summer but rarely use the 3 point hitch. When I went to put it away today I realized the two upper arms of the 3 point hitch were only lowering part way and not going all the way down. There is no implement on the tractor I just had the arms raised because I was pulling a trailer around and the arms were in the way. I tried moving the control valve that adjusts the rate at which the arms move up or down but that didn't have any effect at getting the arms to lower all the way. The hydraulic fluid is full.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I assume most 3 point hitches operate similarly so someone with another brand of tractor may have some ideas for things I can check?
Thanks for listening.
