Good Morning,
I had no hydraulics On recently acquired 8-N. Drained the oil (water) from all three drains. Installed new O-ring type piston. New gasgets. new oil. Now arms Raise but won't come down. What did I fix too good.( Or what did I miss?). Thanks in advance. Ron

Try loosening the lift arm screws on one side a turn or two. I found that if I tightened mine all the way down then the lift arms would bind against the top cover and it would raise up okay but would not come back down by gravity alone. They need to be only snugged up then they are held in place with a little metal 'keeper' strap that you bend over the head of the nuts.

When you reinstalled the top assembly did you get the manual valve arm into the socket of the manual valve? You would have to guide it into place by reaching into the right side inspection hole. If so, what about adjusting the quadrant? Four bolts cover 4 slotted holes. Both the operators manual and the shop manual reference this adjustment.

Possible causes:

One of the control valves in the pump is stuck or disconnected.

The linkage or control quadrant is mis-adjusted, disconnected, or broken.

The piston is a tight fit and you have no weight on the arms.

It might be possible to narrow this down with more information:

When the arms come up, do they rise and shut off the pump normally? Or do the arms hit the mechanical limit, and the pump relief valve screams in protest as the pump tries to continue to lift the arms past "all the way up"?

Are the symptoms the same in both position control and draft control mode?

How much weight are you putting on the arms when they "won't come down"?

If you put the touch control all the way down, and then press down on the arms, do they feel like they are raised rock-solid, never to come down again, or is it more of a spongy resistance?

How long does it take the arms to drift down if you shut the tractor off?

Did you do anything with the hydraulic pump, or only the lift cover and piston?
