I'm new to this forum. I have a hydraulic problem with the 3 point hitch. It won't operate at all. I have done the following...
1) cleaned the strainer
2) changed the hydraulic oil
3) replaced every spring and O-Ring in the control valve, hydraulic cylinder, and lift arm.
4) used compressed air to blow out both the supply and pressure lines going to and from the pump
I have pressure to lift/ operate the front hydraulics (FEL)
I do not have power steering or a front loader attachment
The relief valve is discontinued and I can't get any O-Rings or shims for it.
A little background, it all started when the pressure line and supply line to the pump were removed to gain access to the engine block.
Once reattached the 3 point hitch operated for about 4 hours then quit in the down position and would not lift.
Once the rock shaft housing was removed, rebuilt with new O-Rings and springs. The 3 point lifted once, held the load. When lowered, it would not relift the load.
I am at a loss for an explanation and would greatly appreciate any assistance you may provide.
