Dump Bed Won't Lower - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up a 63 One Ton Dump awhile back.
Schwartz PTO Driven Single Cylinder

I have gotten it to raise but it will not lower??

Anybody have any insight into why this could be happening?

The cable on the right is to engage the PTO, the left one raises it when pulled out. I assumed it should lower when pushed back in.
I was never shown how to operate it when I made the purchase, so maybe I'm doing something wrong??

I'm not too familiar with hydraulics or PTO, so any input is appreciated.
