Long 360
I have a Long 360 and I am having a strange problem with the 3 point hitch. When the control lever is pushed down, the hitch goes up and vice versa. It has limited range of motion also. I have removed the lever and the control arm coming out of the hydraulic case can be moved manually and the hitch has full motion. I bought a poorly copied shop manual and the pictures do not do show how to arrange the linkage in the correct way. A local tractor mechanic told me that the draft/position control lever was moved when the lift was not in the proper position, thus reversing the lever. I'll be darned if I can figure out what to do to reverse this thing! I am a gentleman farmer, but I usually can solve any mechanical problem on all types of automobiles. Help!;

we have a 460 long and the 3pt hitch quit raising. had it all apart and we can't figure out what happened or how they got all the draft control parts in to make it work. We are now 3Pt Hitch less. Hope you can get some one to answer your cry for help . . .John

Draft control can make the action reverse however this is extremely rare. You should be bale to make it switch back but it will take a combination of load and then moving the draft lever up or down and I cannot tell you which. Since I am assuming you are trying this with the 3 pt unloaded I would think that you would need to put it under heavy load and then change the draft from heavy to light but I am not sure. You will need to go to extremes on the load the load, i.e. load it does not want to lift or very close to it.
The only other option i can think of is to inside and get it all set right again but that would take some specific knowledge of the Long tractor assembly.
