I have a  54 NAA that I rebuilt last year, but I have a problem with the 
hydraulics.  The 3 point hitch goes up or down sporadically. When I lift 
the lever, the  hydraulics move all the way up, regardless of what I do. 
Then when I try  to get it to release or move the 3 point down, I move 
the lever and they  may or may not go down. I think it may be the o ring 
that is on a valve or  spool within the hydraulic system that is sticking 
or too tight. Any ideas  one way or another before I take it apart again? 
The system never worked  when I got the tractor and this was a complete 
rebuild on my own and  everything else is perfect, so I'm really bummed 
about this. Not to  mention what an inconvenience it is when I try to do 
anything with it.  Thanks, Kurt

The big spring on the top link area must be set just tight. The whole top  
cover machine needs to be very good.
