Turntable set up HELP

OK, I have majorly messed something up and need expert advice. I set up my turntable a few months ago, and had no real problems, but I wanted to take it to the next level so I bought a Walley Tractor (well I ordered it in October, got it in January) and I tried to use it today. Well after I adjusted the cartridge using the Wally tractor, re-adjusted the needle force and anti-skate and put on a record. Well about 2 minutes in the record started to skip. Adjusting cartridge force again, anti-skate nothing helps. All the records skip. Platter is still level, I can't figure it out. Took everything off, re-set up, still skipping???

Help!!!!!

Have never used a wally tractor but first I would put things back the way they were before wally entered the scene.See if I miss read the instructions. Then go step by step and see which step causes the problem. Someone else with more experience may have a better idea but this seems like a reasonable first step to me.
Good Luck

very very unlikely but it took about 3 records for me to figure it out. My dust cover is off during play, wasn't looking or listening and did not notice that one of the hinges that held the dust cover up had gone forward not stayed back as it should. Caused skipping in the begginning until the arm had moved past it. Height of vinyl did not matter though.
