It covers an early cylinder head casting defect and dealer repair history, an unequal pedal-travel fix, and then a real hands-on diagnosis of a leaking-down 3-point hitch, pulling the seat, tracing hoses, and testing a relief valve O-ring. Good for existing owners troubleshooting similar hydraulic leakdown issues.
Appears to be an independent owner-operator documenting his own tractor's problems and fixes over time, not a dealer or sponsored channel.
A casting defect near the freeze plug kept it from sealing correctly, and rocker assembly bolts broke off during removal, leading the dealer to install a new cylinder head.
The reverse pedal linkage geometry requires more pedal travel than forward to achieve the same speed, so the owner added a plate for more travel.
A backup ring inside the relief valve was not installed in the right spot, letting the hitch slowly leak down especially after the fluid warmed up.
Remove the seat using two 12mm bolts and a 12mm nut, which lifts off and exposes the hoses for the third function and hitch control valve.
