3-Point Hitch the 3-point hitch on my LS MT357 SC won't raise... any suggestions?

[Hammerhead Ted]

I was discing a field today and suddenly the 3-point wudn't raise. I disconnected from the discs, and it still wudn't raise. I went home and crawled around under the tractor, but cudn't spot any obvious problem. The hydro fluid level was okay. I have no idea what to do or try, short of going to a dealer. I don't have a "shop/repair" manual. HELP!

FALSE ALARM... I overlooked an earlier posting from someone who had the same problem. Reading someone else's reply, I RAN back to my tractor and discovered that I'd "bumped" a different lever, and guess what... when you do that, your 3-point hitch won't raise. UGH!
(Were you guys wondering why I got the knickname "Hammerhead"???)

Hey, no worries; you had the best kind of trouble, trouble that doesn't cost anything but a little pride.

Wow good to know I have a your tractors little brother. I'd probably do that all the way on the other side of the property and not know what to do. Thanks for posting.

There's a lever on the LS that disables the 3-point?

Probably the remote lever next to the seat, That would be an issue with any brand.

On my tractor the three point lever and the draft control lever are right next to each other so sometimes I mistakenly grab the wrong lever and just like in your case the three point doesn’t move.
