First off I really don't care if you've had your tractor for 9000 years and ran a billion hours with no mls valve problems.
That said, I just turned 180 hours and my mls valve is done again. This will be the fifth time I have had it out, torn it apart, found nothing really wrong, put it back together, and so far every time it works for awhile after that. It won't go up. If I put the receiver hitch attachment on it it will go up once the oil is warmed up but has a 5 second delay before lifting. With the snowblower on or posthole auger it won't go up at all unless I roll the loader bucket all the way one way or the other to deadhead the hydraulics for a few seconds then let go. Then it will go up about a third of the way, then I have to do it again. So now it's back in the shop to do the same old same old again, and I guarantee it won't last long before it quits working again.
The three point on this thing is pretty much worthless scrap iron.
