I changed bucket control valve back a few months ago while chasing loss of lift. Thanks to Dan finally traced it to a weak pump.
Anyhow I haven't used 3pth since changing the valve. I've had ballast box on and 3pt valve locked. Yesterday, after installing new 3pth fast hitch I had no lift on 3pt. However I came to realize that when I lifted or lower the front bucket the 3pth would lift.
What did I plumb wrong????🤬🤬

I don't know what you used as replacement valve. It sounds like you have a commodity parallel circuit loader valve and the tank and power beyond hoses are reversed. Or you have the hoses right but did not install a power beyond conversion sleeve.

Got the same exact brand hydraulics valve that was on it. Ordered it with power beyond. Even tried switching pb valve with one out of old valve. No change. Hose coming off the pb valve goes back to rear. Should that be going to front block?

Yep. Switched hoses. Got it now. Thanks for your time again.
