My grandfather has an old Massey Ferguson 240 with a farmhand loader on it with a weird Hydraulic problem. The loader really won't do anything and the bucket won't either (super slow) and it drifts down like crazy. I originally thought it was piston seals leaking until I operated it the other weekend. It has a simple two valve setup with a joystick, the weird thing that threw me off was that when you push the joystick all the way forward it catches like a detent and it's supposed to be in float ( I assume connecting head end to rod end) but the loader raises up. Now I think it could be in the valve, but everything's there to look at and the valve seems to be operating normally. Rear Hydraulics work just fine off the same pump, he replaced the valve a few years ago and claims it was doing similar things. I was going to put the old valve back on it and see if that changes anything. Any insight would be appreciated, also wasn't sure if I should put this in the AG section, figured a Hydraulics problem might be better suited here.
Thanks in advance,
