MF 135 hydraulic problem

[Swamp Justice]

Hi everyone: Hope someone can give me some advice on this problem I have with a 1967 Massey 135. I bought it as a fixer upper and have the Perkins running like a champ. Everything works except the hydraulic controls are reversed.................up on the lever means down on the hitch, down on the lever means up on the lift. The pump seems to be working fine with plenty of pressure. It is not a pressure control model. Please help.

Thank you all

You should have 2 levers. One is for draft and the other is for position. For position control (brush hog, post hole digger, etc), pull the outside lever all the way back and leave it there. Then use the inside lever for position control, forward for down and back for up. For draft control (plow, ground engaging implements) I think you do the opposite, but can't remember since I don't ever use it on my 2135. The owners manual explains it all.
