the unit has the auto release valves. I have already removed them and checked to make sure the ball moves freely in each one. they were cleaned and reassembled into the unit. before i had done this (and changed fluid/filter) the forward would only work when the lever was most of the way up and was incredibly jerky. most of that was fixed with the replacing of the fluid and filter. reverse is still no operative. i do not have a front blade on the tractor. i am referring to the implement lift cylinder between the frame rails on the tractor. when i had checked last the linkages were working fine albeit a bit stiff. i shall dig into them a bit more to see if they are not stroking the entire way.
