Re: Three point hitch won\'t lift.
Ok this is what I did. I went through everything related to the pressure for the three point hitch before I went inside the
hydraulic oil pan. Finally I pulled everything out of the hydraulic tank. I pulled the piston out , and everything out of
the distributor case and the only thing I found was 1 rough O-
ring and the spill valve in the distributor case was hard to get out. While I had all of the hydraulics parts inside and out removed and apart, I cleaned everything. Reassembled, replaced 3 O-rings. The 3 point hitch is working fine now. I think it was mostly dirt in the valve not letting it shift. Not being a hydraulic man I am not sure what the spill valve does. When I removed the lid from the oil tank I started the tractor and could see the oil by passing when I worked the levers. Since the oil continued to by pass I assumed that it was one of the valves in the distributor case. You have to take the cylinder out of the oil tank in order to remove the distributor case off of it. So if you ever have that trouble and you can see your levers working ok inside the tank, and the oil by passing I suggest you do the same as me and remove everything and clean and check parts as you go. I hope you never run into this problem, but if you look at the diagrams in your bookand get a place large enough to lay all your parts and keep all parts from each piece together, that way you will know which part goes into each piece. It looks very complicated but if you are careful it isn't that bad.
