8050 Branson Tractor 3 point lift will not go.

Was preparing to sharpen the blades on my Titan 8' mower. Tractor had been left overnight in my shop. I started the tractor to raise the deck with the 3 point but it will not even try to come up. Hydraulic oil is at the proper level and the electric fuse is good. No codes. I removed the mower, still doesn't work. Need help, what do I need to check?

Check that one of the other valves is not stuck open. That will run all the flow through the relief, bypassing the 3pt.

Have you checked your fuses?
Once in a while mine will act strange,
moving the position control thru it's full range usually gets it going.
Also have you tried the one touch buttons or the outside control on the fender.
Also your draft control knob and speed control knob under the little flip up cover,
cycle those and try with them in the mid range.

Thank you ericm979 for the pointer.
You are correct. One of my rear remote valve control lever was in the indent position. This caused it to "bypass" thus causing the 3 point to not have an oil supply, not work. Corrected that and all is well. Many thanks.
