ford tractor gas 3000 bobbing three point

[MarkWisconsin]

Hi, My 3000 3 cylinder Ford tractor has a bobbing issue. It lifts good but its bobbing in all positions half way up all the way up etc. It does a very short dropping then jumping up immediately. Its not subtle its very distinctive short bouncing dropping and lifting. I would appreciate any help on a solution to this problem Thankyou Mark

Oring on lift cylinder is worn.

Oring on lift cylinder is worn.

Its called hiccups,, ie worn piston oring usually the cause.. allows the fluid to leak and the lift to drip,, then as it drops, the unload valve senses the drop and corrects by adding fluid... and it will get faster as it wears so soon, your lift will have the "hiccups"... pull the hyd cover and replace the piston ring will usually fix it. check for damage or scarred cyl as well.
