I have a CCC built 782. Used mostly for utility yard work. Haven't had a deck on it for 3 years or so. Awile back I tried to move the hydraulic lift lever and the valve is froze up. Any suggestions to free it up. Tractor has always been kept inside since I've owned it
 
Good penetrating oil and patience. I like PB blaster, but others use acetone/auto transmission fluid.
Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes.
 
Kendal has already mentioned PB blaster.
When you try to free it up, try to move it just a hair. Then try to move it back. If it moves that hair, keep trying to move it back and forth a hair more each time. Don't force it.
