What would cause the lift on 6060 to be jerky? It does not operate smooth but jerks when you move lever. ------------- Allis Chalmers 6060 10' Howse Rotary Cutter 5' Tiller 5' Box Blade 4' Aerator Ferris Zero Turn Mower W/10' fold up sprayer John Deere 455 Lawn Tractor John Deere 955 w/loader & 60" belly mower |

FIRST thing i would do is change filter ?
Do you know this tractors history ?
meaning did u buy it new or used ?
Perhaps changing all hydraulic oil is in order ?
its the cheapest place to start ------------- WD WD45 DIESEL D 14 D-15 SERIES 2 190XT TERRA TIGER ac allcrop 60 GLEANER F 6060 7040.and attachments for all Proud to be an active farmer |

bought it used, but the former owner bought it new and was famous for maintaining his equipment. The fluid is very clean. I think I will change the filter and see if that changes anything. Thought there might be an adjustment. Now that I think of it, the hydraulic hookups are jerky and very fast acting also. ------------- Allis Chalmers 6060 10' Howse Rotary Cutter 5' Tiller 5' Box Blade 4' Aerator Ferris Zero Turn Mower W/10' fold up sprayer John Deere 455 Lawn Tractor John Deere 955 w/loader & 60" belly mower |

It has cable operated hydraulics like my 6080. It probably has rust or crud in the linkage. I'd lubricate it really good then give it a try. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

The levers operate smoothly after being lubricated, but the hydraulics seem to operate so quick that it jerks the whole tractor when raising the brush cutter. ------------- Allis Chalmers 6060 10' Howse Rotary Cutter 5' Tiller 5' Box Blade 4' Aerator Ferris Zero Turn Mower W/10' fold up sprayer John Deere 455 Lawn Tractor John Deere 955 w/loader & 60" belly mower |

I knew it was there somewhere, just something you never use so I forgot where it was. Let us know if it resolves your issue. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

I know what you're talking about. Which would make it react slower, pushed down or pulled up? ------------- Allis Chalmers 6060 10' Howse Rotary Cutter 5' Tiller 5' Box Blade 4' Aerator Ferris Zero Turn Mower W/10' fold up sprayer John Deere 455 Lawn Tractor John Deere 955 w/loader & 60" belly mower |

Pull up for less sensitivity, push down for more. I assume yours must be pushed all the way down? ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |
