My B7300 has the std 3pt hitch and a front end loader installed. I started the engine and both the loader and mower deck on the rear were jerky to raise. I turned off the tractor and checked fluid level and added fluid until it reached the dipstick. Restarted and the hydraulics of both were still jerky but less so than before. However, after idling in place for a half hour, jerky no longer but won't raise at all. Front loader bucket will go down but not up. Rear hitch won't go down or up. Any suggestions? Thx.

Check engine oil, if it's overfull it has blown a pump seal, recheck hydraulic level it should be low again.
If not could be as simple as air trapped in the system, letting sit a bit might let it burp it out, if not could be that it was low too long and the pump is now bad.
Try loosening (very small amount) the out line (smaller line) off of the pump to check for fluid movement, have a pan or bucket under it and be quick to shut it off as it will move a lot of fluid if it's working right.

I have confirmed it was indeed overfilled. I'm draining it down now to the appropriate level and will see if that solves my problem. Thanks for your help.
