IH 454

I am new to the tractor game and need some help. The front loader will not stay up in the air with a casual drift over time. Under load, it drops quicker. Looking for suggestions on where to begin.
Thanks!

The most obvious thing to check are the hydraulic cylinders on the loader. They likely need a rebuild which can be done by a local hydraulic shop. Talking with the hydraulic shop would be smart as they might have some simple diagnostic tests to confirm the suspicion prior to removing them.

Thanks for the input. I will contact the shop and have them walk me though some diagnostics

There is not to much to the cylinders.. I'd just remove them and get them rebuilt!
