I've got a 2615 that's probably about 8 years old and only has 100hrs on it. I used it over the winter to clear the little snow that we had. At that time the 3pt worked ok. I then went to use it and noticed that the 3pt wouldn't go up. I reached under the seat and pulled the feed back arm and raised it up and went about my work. Since that time, I haven't been able to raise or lower the 3pt using the control lever. I can raise it by pulling on the feedback arm and I can lower it by adjusting the speed control valve. I've read a couple of other forum posts where there was dirt build up under the seat. After a cleaning and spray with some penetrating lube, they posted that the 3pt was back in working order. I've tried the same thing. Along the way I've even had to replace the control lever arm assembly because the cast piece that attaches to the hydraulic shaft broke.
So at this point, I've cleaned and lubed everything. Replaced the hydro filter under the seat. Replaced the control lever. Taken off all of the external parts that are connected to the control arm apart and inspected for damage. Everything looks good. My next step is to have the dealer take it, but if there is something else I can try???? My fluid levels are all good. The tractor is stored in a pole barn.
Thanks
