3 point hitch problem

Hello all. I am new here and I am looking for some help. My father passed away unexpectedly last year and I inherited a good chunk of land and a Long 2460.

I have used the tractor over the years but always had dad to rely on. I used it most recently for heavy work in November. I have started it and "worked out" the transmission, front end loader, and hitch every few weeks.

Recently, I needed to do some heavy work again. The 3 point hitch will not lift at all. I have checked the fluid, the linkage, and greased the fittings all with no results.

I feel like I may be doing something wrong. Any ideas for common rookie mistakes or common problems that keep a 3 point hitch from working would be appreciated!!

Regards,
Greg

You may have water in the oil. I would check for that. Also you may need to change the filters if it has external filters.

Is the lever engaging the valve? Valve okay? Stupid question, but I needed to throw that in.
