My John Deere 140 H1 has its Hydraulic lever stuck... Let's free it up today.

I have been fighting this for over a year. Maybe this is the day we finally get this lever freed up!

My levers move a little but the control valves that the levers connect to are stuck?

I never did get the freed up... I sold the tractor last month... I still have my 140 H1

How I free mine up is to unhook the linkage inside so you are not fighting 2 stuck places. Have not broke one yet. Inside is a little cylinder at the valve that can be also stuck. You can tap on it with a long piece of metal. Then you can work on the levers without the added stress of the other potentially stuck pieces. I will be going to Salem to pick up a Johnson myself with bucket and Johnson forks. It is on a Bolens 1886. I am stoked to bring it home once Gov Brown/Gov Inslee and potus lift the stay at home orders.

I am working on the H3 now... starting to take grease. Still super stuck..

Is the loader at Steves? I would like a pic of the forks..

@@GlennsSpeedShop Yes it is Steve's til I get there. LOL! I have a couple photos on the FB GT page. probably not as good as you want. You could ping Steve and he may have one around. Good luck on the H3 do you understand what I am saying about the 2 potential stuck spots . I am a terrible writer.
