Just recently purchased a 1950 something TO30 that is in great condition. The only issue is that the 3pt won't lift weight. It works just fine without an attachement. Suggestions??

Also, along with the good comments by Jerry, get the I&T manual as it will be very helpful to understand the workings of the TO30.
Had one, and it was a great tractor....'cept for the left brake location and the fact the 3ph didn't have position control.
Jerry, I believe that I have found the culprit. With the PTO shaft cover removed, I am leaking fluid from the PTO shaft. There are NO other visible leaks on the tractor whatsoever. The transmission fluid is not even registering on the dipstick.
The research that I have done indicates that PTO oil seal is bad and should be replaced and that this fix should take care of the 3pt operation. Do you concur with this assessment?
Thank you.
