I have a late '90s model L2350. When lowering the control lever for the 3-point hitch it was moving too rapidly so I began opening the control valve located just under the seat. I opened it about 2-3 turns and now I can not budge it (the control valve) or turn at all. It won't turn right or left -- open or close. And now the 3-point hitch is "stuck" in the up position. Everything was fine until I "opened the control valve."

I started to remove the valve assembly this morning and it felt as though, as I loosened the bolts, that the entire assembly is under pressure, therefore I did not take it out.

Help please???

Have you tried spraying some good penatrating oil on the shaft of the valve to see if it will loosen it up?
