I unplugged the control box to check the connection prongs and the wiring for any exposed wires, nothing!.The last thing I did was to bang on the box with my fist. Started her up and wow!, first thing I noticed was the aux. hyd. was on without pushing the button?, the lights were NOT on?, I played with the toggle switch on the handle and if I pushed to the left the aux. hyd would turn off momentarily?.  Then, the lift arms would not work except for lifting. and they would only lift if the paddle was heed pushed in a very small area?, they would only drop if I pushed the paddle in the float position?. And the tilt would not work at all?. I kept turning the 853 off and starting her up again a few times and all of a sudden she was working again, including the aux. hyd.?. I guess I need to replace the control box, that was really strange and I have no idea what the problem is except the control box?.Ideas?.......</blockquote>
