I purchased my tractor a couple years ago and constantly thoughts it was a 400B, finally read the tag and realize it is a 411B. Im trying to fix issues as they arise with it. Some days I get to work her hard and most other days she just sits.
I have changed all fluids and filters in her according the the manual. But two things that have been a constant issue are the hydraulics constantly raising up on their own. It is worse when the tractor is throttled up. I did recently put new roll pins in the levers, where they attached to the valve body and adjusted the linkage to allow full movement of the levers. I feel that helped a little. To lower it I have to push down on the arms as I push down on the 3 point lever and the remote hydraulic lever, even though nothing is hooked up to the remote hydraulics. Once it feels resistance it typically stops raising on its own but that means my 3 point finish mower doesnt float near as nice because the arms are already about to pick it off the ground.
Anything else I need to start pulling apart and adjusting so it doesnt raise on its own?
I also have a leak out of the pistons that go into the valve body. Im assuming I have to remove the fuel tank to get all that pulled out and new seals in it? I apparently didnt take pictures of the leak before leaving home this weekend but I will add it later. Here is a picture of it just finishing mowing 2 acres of tall weeds and grass with a frontier RC2084. She worked hard but did a great job!
Thank you everyone for any advice on this issue or even other things to be looking at on the old girl!
