3 point wont raise

ole farmerbuck · Jan 30, 2011

Yep. All of the sudden my 3 pt wont raise my blade. It tries but wont do it. Oil is fine (46hrs on tractor). We just installed WRLong 3rd function kit but thats all we have done. I finally unhooked the blade and got it to raise slowly with lots of throttle. Any ideas?

Did the problem coincide with the new valve installation? Or did the 3PH work after the valve install, but now does not?
Does the engine sound labored?
Is the valve hooked up (IN and OUT ports) with QD's? If so, unplug them and then reconnect them.

Woops. Its a M7040. I didnt even try the blade till today i guess. Just installed the kit yesterday afternoon. Used the forks today and loaded lots of dead trees but didnt use the blade till this evening. I let it down to smooth off a dirt pile and it wouldnt raise. I left the motor running with 3 pt lever up and took another tractor and lifted up the blade thinking it would stay up but it didnt. With the blade off of the tractor and giving it full throttle, it will raise slowly.

I dont think the 3pt has any connectors if thats what you're asking.

I think the hoses are threaded, no QD's. The fel worls fine.

Well, i guess i didnt try the 3 pt till today. I called the John Deere mechanic that installed the 3rd function valve and he said it has to be something besides what he hooked up. The oil goes to the 3 pt different from the fel. No, the engine doesnt labor trying to raise.
