When I raise the 3pt it hiccups, lowering about 1" then up again...and back down...is this a seal problem, and if so, how hard is this fix?

I've heard that a hole in the lift piston or a bad seal will also cause that. ....

Hittman,
My father in law had a 61, Ford Workmaster 601. Per the local Ford dealership and another Ford dealership there was a problem with his model tractor. There was so many of the "hiccups" per minute they said was acceptable and if less than that DO NOT attempt any repair. The number I am not sure of but it was like 20 or more per minute. A number that surprised me. Now, the hiccup it had was not large or pronounced but a major issue with such as cultivators. A big enough issue that here (then Ford Country) they developed a slide set up to bolt onto cultivators to keep them steady when plowing. Have no idea if that problem was common to the first Model 3000 Fords. I would try to find an OLD Ford mechanic if possible.

Could be all the advice given already is correct and the problem was fixed with the 3000 model. kt ....
