You probably have pressure built up in the hoses. Be careful with that since it can be injected through your skin and that is BAD! Put a rag over the end of the hoses and wear safety glasses and leather gloves before trying to relieve the hose pressure as instructed above. You can also...

If there anre any couplers involved with the hoses try to disconnect them and reconnect them. And if the hoses can reach you could try to swap sets around to see if the problem moves with the hoses. You can also disconnect those hoses and see if fluid is coming out of the hoses (put hoses into...

There are panel mount SAE ports also to make it easier to use, if you have a place to mount it.

You might try putting weight on the seat that matches your previous weight. I assume you were sitting on the seat compressing the springs and then screwed the knob tight. Now you have a good spring load against the mechanism that you are trying to turn. Remove that spring load and that will...

@TxDoc I know you are in Texas but that doesn’t mean you are close enough to me that I could help you out! If you are close to Austin I would be happy to come over and see if we could get you going on your mower. Let me know by starting a private conversation (click on my name on the left)...

The bores of the hydraulic cylinders need to be a well machined surface that is fairly smooth and cylindrical so that the seals can seal well and don’t get worn out quickly. Since your seals seem to have failed completely, the steel piston on the rod has probably been in contact with the...

Check that the lug nuts are properly tightened.

See if it is listed in this thread somewhere https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/ultimate-gray-market-must-read.20178/

Yes-assuming the auto parts store has a clue what their job is. Probably better luck at a NAPA store than an Auto Zone store.

I suggest that it could also be the transmission vent being clogged and pressure buildup causing it to leak. I think you should clean it well and the see if you can see more exactly where the leak is starting from.

It would probably be best if you were to post a picture. You may have to get over 5 posts before you can attach a photo. If you want to post a video you have to post it somewhere else (like YouTube) and put a link here.

Can you get a picture of the area just up and to the right of that picture? Try to include the bolt hole that I assume is in that corner missing from that picture. (I think that will show the spring attachment and the U-shaped attachment.)

As I understand your problem, it is the short upper arms are not moving. So if they are all the way up, then they may just be locked in that position and turning the knob may fix it. But I also think that the hydraulics to the three point hitch are SOMETIMES changed when the backhoe is on so...

I think you can remove the wire clip at the end by the mushroomEd part of the handle the slip the plastic part off over the mushroom. Then replace with plastic, metal, wood machined to fit.

Everything points to bad cylinder seals (or bad cylinders in general).
