I bought a case 1570 an everything
seems to work except the lift arms

Have you checked the draft control? Just a thought

is that the sensing leaver ?

Yes, the cable broke on my 1170 one time
and the same thing happened, the lever
moved but didn't actuate anything so be
sure your cable is moving

yes the cable is good an it moves the leaver underneath

Be careful on them...they can override and break the rear housing. Look at a manual.

Have you tried forcing it down? It's possible the rock shaft has tightened up from non use.

 

[Puppleup]

haven't tryed that yet but I will in a min... an ya it's not been used for a long time

.... if it is the rock shaft how do I loosen it up ??

Be careful as to how much force. Maybe place the front of a bucket on a utility tractor in the FLOAT position on the lift arms.

If it works but is just stiff just put something on heavy enough
to make it work and use it.

I jumped up and down on the lift arms got them down about halfway but don't want to go on down

 

[jon f mn]

If they went down part way with just you on them I would say
they are just right. The idea of using a loader to push them
down is a good one. Once it's hooked to a plow or something
it should loosen up with use.

Rock shafts stick or get hard to move. Put some weight on the lift arms and cycle them up and down.

The 7000/8000 JD tractors do this when the three point is rarely used. I usually put a quick hitch on the three point and hung wheel weights in it. Then cycle the lift up and down.
