I had to put a new lift cover gasket on, I adjusted linkages, and made sure everything was moving and clean before re-assembling. The tractor hadn't been run in years, but the 3 point arms worked as intended until the gasket sprung a leak.
The tractor also has a front blade, with hydraulic cylinder to lift it. I replaced the hoses from the lift cover accessory plate, all the way to the front lift cylinder.
The front hydraulic cylinder works great, lifts, lowers, holds position wherever I set it, indefinitely. So I know the Hydraulic pump is working.
Fluid level is good, PTO works, everything works, except the 3 point arms.
I can move the lift arms by hand, quite easily. When I lift them by hand, they just fall back down.
With the hydraulic filler cap removed, I can see that when I move the lift arms, the piston rod moves. I can also see that when I move the selector lever, the linkage moves, same with the touch control lever. Everything appears to be moving and hooked up properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
