MY WD has a 3-point conversion on it and it's doing some strange things.

First, sometimes when I lower the control lever on the quadrant all the way to the bottom, the lift arms won't go down. They will eventually drop, though it could be a few seconds up to a couple of minutes.

The other thing it will do is sometimes when the lift arms do go down after lowering the control on the quadrant, the arms and control lever will go back up automatically like there is back pressure someplace.

Any ideas? Seems like it has a mind of its own sometimes.

Could be to much play in the linkage rods or just out of adjustment.May just need to adjust a little and try it.Kind of like "Fire and and adjust caliber 50".....walk it in.

Check to make sure that your hydraulic oil level hasn't gone down-  if the oil's getting aereated, it'll cause the valve to act funky, and the arms to magically lift themselves for no reason...

Oh, and check the level COLD... like... after it's been sitting for a day or so...  when it's aereated, the level will ALWAYS appear to be high.

Check the Traction Booster linkage bolt which should be screwed in along the bottom, left hand side of the pump. It this isn't secure the lever won't stay down.
