The lift arms on my L-35 won't move. with nothing hooked up they dont even try, I can move them by hand but nothing on there own. I have the diverter pulled out in the 3pt position and they don't move I tried it in the backhoe position and no differance. I checked all the linkage and everything apears correct. I checked the diverter valve and confirmed it's rotating fully stop to stop.
A little history, I bought the machine this spring from a friend who bought it new. When I got it the relief valve on the backhoe had rusted out and was leaking. It would not drive until I added 5 gallons of oil now everything works as and shifts as it should. I don't think he ever had the backhoe off, the latches were frozen and needed heat from a torch to release. I bought the 3pt hitch kit and would like to start using it.
Any advice on where to start? Should I pull apart the diverter valve in inspect it?
