3-Point Hitch trouble

[Rich Waugh]

I would guess either dirt in the curl valve, as Greg suggested, or possibly the stick is not fully actuating the valve due to misalignment.

What was the cure for the TPH? Inquiring minds want to know! :thumbsup:

The cure was the valve in front of the seat. loosened the set screw, unscrewed the plug let it sit a few minutes open and replace everything and she went to working. I got this little tractor from a friend and have used it in the past. he did not do anything to adjust the flow it just sat for about 4 months withe th hydraulic pump off till i found a parts supplier close by he put it back together and now the only problem is i am going to have to pay him for it and the curl up. if you pull the joy stick to the right and then start toward the floor it will curl, but it you just pull it to right nothing. thanks for the help

Pull the boot off of the joystick and check the spool linkages. Sounds like the spool on the curl isn't being moved enough. They can go out of whack occasionally.

I agree with Bob, check the linkage. Look at the end of the spool as you try to shift, and note whether the spool is moving when you move the lever. If the spool is only moving a little, it is still in the feather zone.

Try removing the linkage and move the spool manually, in both directions. Check for full range.

You might also check the nut under the cap on the bottom of the spool that sets the spring center.
