My blade control lever all of a sudden got extremely hard to raise and lower the blade, the other directions are fine , just raise and lower is awful stiff any ideas ?
Have you tried looking behind the panelling at the linkage which connects the blade control handle to the hydraulic control valve..?
No I haven't it just happened at quitting time what am I looking for once I remove panel
Anything that's out of place or maybe looking rusty. If you have some tools try disconnecting the linkage right at the last connection to the valve and see if the handle moves OK. That would identify if the problem is in the linkage or in the valve.
Will check this weekend and let you know thanks
