I was brush hogging and ran over a stump causing quite a bit of vibration. The top connection of the 3-point hitch had loosened on the brush hog allowing the two lower arms to raise into the top most position while the control lever on the tractor was still in the down position. The up-down lever now does nothing when worked. The draft control lever was pushed to the fully down position during the fibration. When the draft lever is pulled to the raised position it feels as though there is tension on the lever so that when released it springs fully forward. I removed the top plate housing exposing the hydraulics and removed the oil. I can see nothing broken. A small piston enters a large cylinder at the terminal end of the linkage that extends from the draft control lever. It is as if the piston has a vaccuum. Can anyone tell me what has happened and how to fix it?
Thanks, Lon
