HELP!

Hi,
I am currently using a Leyland 270 for some home projects and the 3-point hitch stopped working. Anyone ever had or heard of this problem? The PTO still works but from what I have read, I understand that Leylands PTO is separate from the 3-point. The 3-point is currently in the up position so I have to assume it is not a fluid problem. If it was low on fluid or not holding pressure, it would fall down on its own correct? Also, the draught lever and up and down control lever are properly connected to the hydrolic control box?? (if that's what it's called) I don't know much about these so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I was thinking about taking the top off to see if I could see what was happening internally but not sure if this is the right way to go.

You need to be more specific what are the symptoms of not working. The three point hitch and PTO are two different systems.
3P hitch has a valve that regulates down speed. If it is closed the hitch will not go down at all. It is usually a knob located somewhere below the seat. See attached link for an example.

Redneck,
Thanks for your reply. That is exactly what it is doing. Stuck in the up position and won't go down. Thanks for the link. It is very informative and hopefully I will be able to fix the problem. I appreciate the info and I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again
