I'm working with Dad's tractor. Dad entered into the deep sleep on november 6, and I'm trying to slap my 8-foot lundell snowblower on the back in preparation for winter.
But the lower swing arms are too far down, and I had to raise them as high as they went just to put the lower pins in. That won't lift the blower.
But that's easy, I just have to take the upper swing arms loose off the splined shaft (rockshaft) above, start the tractor, let the tractor roll the rockshaft back to the lowered position, and put the arms back on the rockshaft.
That should be easy. A little bit of using real muscle, like I rarely get to use in town, but I got it done.
Or so I thought. Now the lift arms don't move at all. What did I do wrong? Only thing I can think of, I did notice that the rockshaft did slide about a 1/4" to 1/2" left or right while I was taking the arms off. Did I get something out of time inside, introduce air to hydraulics, or blow a seal? I don't know how the rockshaft stuff works.
