My lift arms came up, while i was Bushhogging. They wont go back down unless i shut the tractor off. But when the tractor is started up again, they come back up, and wont go down, even with the lift lever all the way down. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like the control valve is stuck you need to remove the lifpt cover to fix

i agree.. classic sticky unloader valve.

while you have the top cover off.. check oil.. if dirty.. flush sump and change hyd oil.

ps.. top cover gasket and oring kit is a paltry 15$ at your dealer..

i reccomend utf fluid meeting the m2c134 spec ( walmart, tsc, napa, car quest, etc.. all have house utf oils. check pail for spec.. most run 30-50$ per 5g. ) takes 8qts in hyds nominally. will hold up to 4 qts more -if- you use external hyds..
