Thanks very much. Its one of the things I can still do with mÿ reduced physical condition and I enjoy puzzling a problem out.

I reconnected the 3rd func line. Now the backhoe works. Also set the 3-point hitch control to low. But the problem remains.

I mentioned earlier that pushing the control lever forward to lower the arms was tending to cause them to rise - now that backwards response is stronger.

Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your help.

Absolutely correct Yotekiller. TheOldHokie really is a wealth of information here.

If the backhoe works but the loader does not the power beyond loop is working properly.

That brings us back to the couplers on tje loader. My first question is do you have the bucket and boom couplers on tje correct ports? Bucket going up as you describe is inducative of bucket spool connected to boom cylinders. Double check those connections and if needed I can provide the factory color coding. Once you are sure they are in the proper order we can do a better test of the couplers.
