Already been reading up but want to know if anyone else had a problem similar and what their cure was. I noticed while lifting the finish mower the tractor seemed to bounce up and down. Didn't give it too much thought at the time as I was in the barn on concrete. Yesterday I was booming logs from one place to the other and noticed the same bounce in the tractor but I think it was the 3 PT pulsing. At one point the boom would not raise which was a first. I increased engine RPM and the boom lifted and fell normally. Not sure what may be happening.

Maybe the O-rings in the 3pt hitch cylinder under the seat. Check This thread Brian had the answer.

Your symptoms sound very similar to the symptoms I was experiencing with my L5450. My hitch would hunt, or bounce up and down. Also, once my engine was shut down, the hitch would drop from full lift to bottom very quickly with any type of load on the hitch. Replaced the oring on the lift piston. As well as the o-ring on the cover or head to the lift. Works awesome now! $20 in parts and less than 2 hrs labor.
