Thanks Russell. Last night I got home and the owners manual I ordered off ebay came in and I can now see the breakdown of the mechanical part of the lift system and I bet the piston is rusted to the cylinder. I was able to get the arms to flex up and down about 1/8" when jumping on the boxblade...

Picked up my box blade and got it mounted to the 3 point. Still wont go down even jumping on it and taking it for a bouncy ride. I have tried the speed valve in different positions and move the up/down lever a bunch too. Does anyone have any tips before I start taking things apart?

The feedback bar is hooked up from what I can see. I plan on buying a box blade today so I can use my forklift to get it up into position and just let the weight of it try and bring down the hitch. The tractor didnt see alot of use so being rusted is a good possibility. Thanks for your input.
