Hydraulics quit on Ford 3000

[lacowboy911]

While using my 72in finishing mower attached to my 73 Ford 3000 tractor, I mowed into a section of nylon rope my kids had left out in the field. It wound up in the blades of course and brought the cutter to a stop. I immediately clutched it and disengaged the PTO, but when I tried to raise the lift, nothing happened. I do have a few hydraulic drips that normally require a couple of gallons of hydraulic fluid about twice a year. I thought maybe it had leaked enough to not allow the pump to work, so I put in 5 gallons of fluid, but still dead lever on the lift. Anybody got a clue what's up with this?

I have a similar problem, the 3 pt hitch will not lift. I have a front end loader on it that still functions fine. Any ideas?
Thanks!

need to know how the loader is plumbed, and what if anything you have done with the top cover blank plate, and or selectrol valve.
