3point hitch troubles

First let me say thanks in advance for your help. I let a friend borrow my IH 656 gas yesterday. She returned the tracor before I got home from work and I didn"t see the tractor until this morning, where I found that she had parked the tractor with the loader and bush hog in the up position. I never park a tractor with the loader or any implement in the up postion so, I am not sure why this problem started after this has happened. The problem is that now neither the hitch or the draft control lever will stay in the back (up) position. They held all night but when I started the tractor up to go do some mowing they will not hold unless I physically hold them back in the up position. Even with the mower off and the tractor running they will not stay in position.
Someone please help me make sense of this.
Thanks, Dave
 
Ser number 44854 and above have an easy friction adjustment on each lever, just tighten 5/16 bolt with l/2 head , older ones are more difficult as spring loaded disc on position control lever although draft control lever is easy unless rusted like they usually are. On that you loosen the lock nut on end of shaft and tighten nut if I am remembering correctly. I would say that is the problem.
