B8200 has no rear hydraulics (3point mower) Help

[chevyz98]

Was out bushing brush around today with front end loader ans had my 5ft finish mower attached to the rear. I got to where I needed the mover and lowered the rear lift arms and they fell all the way down. I cant get them to come back up? The front bucket and the hydrostatic transmission still work. I can pick up the arms by hand and they just fall back down like there is no hydraulic tension on them at all?/????/
Please help. need to mow by this weekend for my sons birthday party.
Thanks

You can check the selector valve. There should be a hydraulic block on the right side of the tractor beside the brake pedal. On the side of that block is a nut with a small roll pin sticking out of it. That pin should be against the rear stop. That is how my B8200 is set up. Don't know if they are all the same or not. Also under or behind the seat there should be a knob or lever to set your raise and lower speed for the three point hitch. Check to make sure it is not backed off all the way. Hope this helps.

Well got home this evening and found knob in down position. Move the valve and amazing the rear hydraulics now work.. THANKS a bunch the valve must have gotten moved by brush or briars while I was pushing stuff around.
This tractor is still a new creature to me so thanks for being patient and helpful.
