444 - 3 point problem, won't lower

I have a new problem that started when I went to lift my bush hog, (which is fairly heavy), and is still happening with the back blade attached.

When I lift the 3 point it will not go back down with the tractor running. Power steering and loader work fine. Also, when I start the tractor the 3 point raises the blade maybe and inch or so off the ground with the 3 point control all the way forward. If I shut the tractor off it settles back down. I have the draft control all the way forward (heavy load). I do not have a factory top link, and the one I have does not touch the sensor for the draft control.

A couple ideas but I wanted to get some other thoughts;

1) I have a internal seal blown and I am bleeding some fluid into the internal lift cylinder.

2) The draft control or the draft sensor is messed up and applying some lift to the 3 point.

I am open to suggestions and trouble shooting/problem isolation ideas,

Thanks for your help in advance
