3pt hitch chatters on the way up and it wont stay up sometimes, was told this means the pump isn't getting enough fluid. was also told there are multiple modes for the draft? what is draft? is there a screen thats clogged somewhere? also 3 cyl diesel starts hard, having a hard time finding the part number for new glow plugs. anyone got ideas?

Sounds like fluid starvation.
Draft control is used to better control the height of ground engaging equipment such as a moldboard plow.
Yep, there's probably a screen but I can't help you with location. The below link might help in that search.
For parts you might try this site to get pictorial diagrams and part numbers. Then visit your local NH dealer.

lots of questions here.
1, check to see if you do indeed have enough fluid in the rear compartment for hyds and rear diffy.
2, do you actually have a thermal start aid or not? ( not glow plugs ).
3, yes, there are screens.. but lets look at #1 first.
4, on the draft. if you have 2 levers in a double quadrant, you have an adjustable draft control. I have seen these on the X600 and up.. but I'm not sure on the 3500. If you have a single 3pt handle, and then a separate small short lever ont he lift cover, it's either draft on/off selected, then use the 3pt lever for setting sensitivity.
LASTLY, if you do have plenty of fluid.. see if it is dirty or wet... either can cause things like control valves and unloaders to stick, in addition to wet oil having frozen chunks inthe winter, and water vaporizing in a pump to cause cavitation.
