B6100 HST-E question time

[chrisjbell]

I couldn't read the posted manual pages real well, but it looks like I got the "knob under the seat" part wrong? /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Sorry...glad I put that disclaimer about not knowing everything in there /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

The knob with the arrow is for diverting the hydraulic flow from raising and lowering the 3ph to another device...i.e. snowblower, logsplitter, etc.

The 3ph will be inoperable with the knob turned the other way.

That's perfect, as I was going to make a dump for my little trailer.
While on the 3ph subject, it drops slowly when I have it full up, ie: the MMM is fully raised , it wants to drop while I'm running the tractor.3ph lever in center (neutral). I guess this means an internal leak of sorts?

I bet you're not supposed to turn it with a hammer, are you.
Looks like mine may never have been turned in 20 years. It's going to take some work to free it, though it did move with some careful (read harder hits than I want to, but have to) taps with a hammer. Penetrating fluid will help. Of course I'll be careful, as I don't want to break the orange girl!
3ph ball ends drop about an inch or so every 20 mins-½ hour with no load at all on them. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
