B1750 hydraulics question

[tiger9297]

Have a B1750 w/ rear 3 pt. hitch and a FEL. The rear hitch and loader seem to raise fine, but almost immediately the rear hitch will slowly lower back to the ground. The loader does not fall as quickly. If you leave the bucket in the air and turn the tractor off it will lower back to the ground but it will take several minutes. I'm assuming these problems are related?? Any help? Ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

Try adjusting the valve under the seat to get the three point hitch to stay up. As for the loader, I think it is a different issue. I have the same machine. I can leave the mower in the air in back, parked for days, and it stays up. The loader gradually lowers while mowing, and I have to remember to raise it or I take chunks out of the lawn. I suspect a small air leak in a line or a worn o ring in a valve, but I don't know enough to know where to look or how to find it. Good little tractor, though.
