Ford 3000 Flow Control Valve Not Working Properly

[craig70032]

I'm having a problem with my lift arm not wanting to stop in the upright position, it then blows the seals in my pump. The valve is not letting me control how high or how low the lift arm goes. I should be able to control where it stops. I've already changed the relief valve and this doesn't fix the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Craig

You don’t have a relief valve problem and you don’t have a flow control valve problem. The linkage that operates the 3pt control valve is faulty or the control valve itself has issues.

Thanks for the respond. Can it be that the control valve spring is bad?

Could be any number of things.
