M5400 hydraulics (almost) dead this morning, working last night

[old_haidouk]

A little cold this morning had to jump start the old M5400. Went to lift the three point and the lever felt unusually light. Sure enough no movement at all. The FEL is working well in dump mode(rolling the bucket up and down) but barely lifting up. They were working last night when I shut it off. I may have overloaded the FEL a bit before shutting off but it was working. I have power steering. Could it be a failing pump? Really appreciate the help, I need it back to work asap.

So embarrassingly enough ... it was the remote valves levers having being knocked in the wrong position(I don't have a manual so I don't know where they should be when not in use). I played with the levers and the 3ph and fel started working. It may not help anyone on here but just in case, that's my story.

Been there, Done that. Sometimes I knock the 3 PT lever off center. The first time, I had to call the service dept. and they told me what to look for.

Excellent follow up and glad you got it worked out.
