[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 5072930, member: 718"] The bolts have been known to shear, which is a bit of a barsteward when it happens. Usually its just the pressure of the oil pushing on the ram agains the two locking rods [at the bottom of the Allen studs] that stops the hitch from lowering. I presume you must have tried the float position on the spool valve, which usually releases the pressure? Otherwise there must be either something foreign jamming the parts or the pins have bent somehow. Try making sure that any ring hitch of an implement is not tightly held somehow, and then try prying the Allen bolts upwards against the springs. If the pressure on the push-out ram is released and you can unlatch the hooks that hold it up, then get someone to hold the lever of the release hooks and with the links slightly lowered, try using a sledge hammer to the implement drawbar to see if that releases it. Mind your feet though, just in case it releases suddenly and drops further than you thought. [/QUOTE]
