3-Point Hitch Got a FX265 D, problem is the 3point hitch arms do nothing. New to group and looking for help. Already did complete fluid and filter change.

Have you been able to determine if any other models may be similar to expand a search.

I think a F26 maybe pretty close to being the same.

Is that a fuse holder on the left of the 2nd picture? Did you disconnect all the connectors to clean them?

Fuse is good, disconnected all plugs and cleaned and reconnected. All electrical is working. Everything is working normal on the machine except the 3ph. I think it may be a jammed rod or valve to the 3ph. Found out that the hydraulic ram for the UFO had the rod bent and the previous owner had it fixed; leads me to believe that the 3point may have been backed into something that bent that rod on the hydraulic ram so hard that the rod that operates the lift got jammed in the cylinder. I’m going to get into checking that out here in a few days. Got other things to get to first. Will update when I check that out.

The 2 solenoids that you saw have buttons on the ends of them, push them in one at a time while the tractor is running.
They are supposed to raise & lower the 3 point. ( they are hard to push)

How about the knob that controls the drop speed of the 3 point is it screwed all the way out?

Does your 265 have a UFO control flip up panel on the right hand side, it has knobs and buttons on it?

The solenoids that are on the top (to the left in the pic) has those buttons and yes they work-the ufo cylinder hooked to one of the 3ph arms on the right side. The other 2 solenoids are one above the other on the right side of the housing. Those 2 should operate the 3ph lift arms; one of those has a clicking sound coming from it( I think it’s the bottom one) when you pull up on the 3ph lever or use the toggle.
I just pulled the front of the housing where the shut off valve is and behind that is what looks to be like a piston. It’s not moving, it maybe that it is stuck and may need to be tapped to come loose. I’m going to tackle that tomorrow; I’ve got PBBlaster sprayed into it for overnight to see if it will help free it up. Seems that could be why the arms for the 3ph won’t do anything. Will update what happens tomorrow. Thanks for your input.

The solenoid on the right hand side of the picture (the grey tube) has a black rubber button on each end.
If you push one in the 3 point should move.

Also check every wire to see if they are grounded, that solenoid will not work if the ground is so so ..

The solenoids on the right in the pic(that you can see clearly) at the top of the pic; they work the hydraulic cylinder for the UFO. There are 2 other solenoids at the bottom of he pic(hard to see) just by where you see the curve of the steel line. There’s one above the other there with just wires(no buttons)going to them; and there is power going to them.I’ll try and get a better pic.

ALyooper, does your tractor have a plug in at the left back for plugging in the UFO tiller, under the tool box on the left?

I have one plug that goes no where and that is probably what your asking. There are also another 2 wires that I don’t know what there for. But all electrical wires have power and everything is working as it should, I assume. Pics to follow
