If your three point hitch works then you have some hydraulic pressure.
Have you checked the controls for the
FEL ? The joystick lvere that raises and lowers the
FEL. The two shuttle/spool valave that direct the oil flow, can come out of adjustment. Essentially there is a spring that is fitted at the back of the valve which ,akes the valve self centre. If the clamping bolt unscrews and falls out, the valve will be left in it's last position.. So, if the spring fell off when you were lowering the bucket, the valve will continue to send oil for that operation - in short it will not lift.
Take the metal cap off of the back of the valve - once you see the spring you will understand what I am talking about.
Please let us know how you made out.
