Mower and 3 pt. hitch won't lift

[garett66]

I was wondering if anyone has ever had an issue with a BX25 belly mower and 3-point hitch not lifting. All other hydraulics work. Linkage is good. Raise and lower speed knob might be the issue. Not sure where to go from there

Make sure that knob is NOT in the TOP position.......wrap a rag around if hard to turn.
Check fluid level? BH hooked up? if not - bypass hose connected??

Yes backhoe is connected. FEL and Hoe both work fine.

I found that the speed knob unthreaded out completely. I'm assuming that the clip retaining ring broke and spring and ball went flying when the stem came all the way out.

Update: tore into the tractor today. Found that the 3pt. Hitch/ deck lift speed stem came all the way out retaining ring was gone spring and ball bearing was missing behind the stem. I got those parts ahead of time just in case. Going to reassemble the tractor tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
