3-Point Hitch Hitch quit working

WRB · May 30, 2011

I have a TC40A, fluid is full, 3 point hitch just quit working, won't lift. Any good ideas and/or where can I get a diagram and/or shop manual on what is going on? Front end loader still works fine.

Does the TC40A have draft control?

Okay, there are two things to check. 1st, do you have hydraulic remotes on the rear? If so, make sure the handles are centered. If they stick and don't return to center, your 3PH will not work.

Most likely you have an out-of-place (loose) power beyond plug inside your FEL joystick valve. Look at the photo and illustration below. You need to remove he cowling around your joystick and remove the circled cover. There is a small plug beneath that cover that loosens and allows fluid to bypass the rest of the system and go directly to the reservoir.

THANK YOU very much. The allen plug had come completely unscrewed and out. Put it back in, tightened it some but not too much because I did not want to strip anything out in the valve, and it works like a champ.
Thanks again,
