ford 4000 hydr.lift problems

james campbell	Need help, was mowing the other day and all at once the hydraulic lift on my tractor went crazy. It will raise all the way up when you work the lift lever but will not come back down and stay in place. It will slowly leak down only. Any ideas?
hay	rockshaft valve needs overhaul kit.
James	Thank you for the info Hay.......Is this an easy replacement? Due to $$ being tight I need to do it myself. James
james	Hay, I cannot find a rockshaft valve. is there another name for the part?
hay	it is under the seat. that big thing bolted on top of the rear axle. that needs to be removed and then can access the valve. a kit is available, but it's much easier to let the professionals do it. usually if that needs a overhaul kit, then the hydraulic filter needs to be cleaned and it's down there also. and check the pto brake and adjust that or replace, if needed. it's all right under the seat. a fairly big job if you are not equipped, not so bad if you have tools and some mechanical knowledge and a service manual.
SCOTT VAN DUSEN	I have the same problem , do you know were to find exploded view ?
kevin	i have the exact same problem the lift wont stay in one position it just very slowly lowers i might mower 200 feet befor im scalping dirt. where can i get one of these valves and whats the price tag on it
