Hi everyone

I have split the tractor to change the reverse gear, and I changed the hydraulic oil, and cleaned the hydraulic filter.

After assembling the tractor, the three point hitch raised and didn’t lower. So I applied some weight on it to lower it, and suddenly it became loose and doesn’t lift any more. I have released air by loosening the control bolt (the one under the chair) but it didn’t fix the issue, and I can see oil pumping when moving the lever (I loosened the bolt in the Hyde line going into the hitch unit) but the arms never move up. I have some videos that might help in assisting the situation

You don't have any hydraulic flow.
When you loosened the banjo bolt on the side of the valve, it should just be dumping fluid out at a huge rate.

FYI: You can easily pick up on the lift arms like that even if they are working properly, it's a floating setup.

Thx for the reply

what could be the cause of not having the flow, the pump? I have changed the oil and assured the level is ok….

Check the hose section of this pipe and make sure it's tight.
And when you installed the filter screen did you use new O-rings.

I will check that part

no, I didn’t change the o-rings on the filter….but one thing to mention is that after I assembled the tractor again, the hitch worked fine but was stuck at the top…once I applied wait it dropped and never raised again
