Have a 220 that im restoring and this is the first time in 30 years this tractor has ran. I can not get the 3 point to work correctly. As soon as you start the tractor with all levers in neutral the 3 point goes all the way up and can not get it down. I shut it of and move the lever to lowers and it drops about a inch or 2 if I try to jump on it but that is it. I know its got to be in the valve because I blew air in the cylinders to make sure everything worked before assembling.

And the load position lever will do that.

Make sure the spool valves are actually moving when you pull a lever.

Both rear levers must be fully FORWARD. And if that isn't it, the linkage under the console top is stuck and holding the Traction Booster spool "in". This console is identical to a 170-175-180-185 and this happens all the time when linkage isn't used and gets rusted in place.
