I would warm the tractor up good, may have to put it in a heated garage to get transmission warm in this weather. Drain transmission oil, let it drain overnight if necessary. Buy proper MF transmission/Hydraulic oil, do not put some cheap oil in the tractor. Takes about 8 gals. @ $38 per 2 1/2 gal container. Hope this solves the lift issue, if not you will need new oil anyway when mechanic goes in to fix problem. Question:
Does steering work properly on a warm day, if so suck out steering gear lube and replace with proper MF steering box lube. Have heard of some using John Deere corn head gear grease in steering box. However, you many have one side gears adjusted too tight or you have worn gears. Be careful, this gearbox if often overlooked until there is a problem. Be sure you have lube in gearbox, heard on one when he unscrewed fill plug it looked like it was full of lube, but was only old lube stuck to top of gearbox, when he punched through lube stuck at top, gearbox was empty of lube. Good luck,
