Please let me know if this is the wrong forum to post this in.

My tractor started having a problem where it couldn't lift much weight with the 3 point of the front loader. I tracked it down to something inside the center section, under the seat. So I took the lift cover and cylinder off and found that the return pipe was broken. While in there I re-sealed everything, replaced the filter, and adjusted the draft and position control linkages per my manual.
That solved that problem, but now when in position mode, the 3 point won't lower completely. On a level surface, my grader box stops about 3" short of touching the ground. It works fine in draft mode. I took the side cover off and can access the position control adjuster, but don't know what to do with it, since I adjusted it already and can't reach the front of the valve to check the depth to the spec in the manual. I'm an experienced truck mechanic, but am not that knowledgeable about this part of the tractor. If you have specific knowledge of this, and have any suggestions that would prevent me from needing to remove the entire assembly again, I would sure appreciate hearing them! Thanks, Jim
