3 point hitch problem

[donny64801]

I recently purchased a YM 2000. My second tractor, if you count the 9N I owned for a couple of weeks and worked on constantly. Now that I traded up for a Yanmar, and did a little research, I might have the Vietnam version. Should I be terrified or see what I have?
I have put about 15 hours on it, pulling a straight blade. The 3 point hydraulics have locked up on me. Probably in the down position, but not quite fully down. I have changed the hydraulic fluid, and cleaned the filter. That did not help. Any ideas? I dont have a manual yet. Thanks.

Try turning the valve handles under your seat.

Thanks Great, Keeping in mind that I could be the mechanically dumbest individual in the world, I cant find any valve handles, unfortunately there just isnt any valves or mechanisms to adjust except for the plunger that is activated when I lift the up and down lever.

It is usually a knob just under the front of the seat above the floorboard.
