Hello, just bought an old B7100D. Trucker lifted it down from front axel and 3-point lifter. Apparrently something went wrong, because hydraulic doesn't raise or lift anymore. it went down but that was all. There's no force, it's floppy. Any idea/knowledge what break there?

There is a rod from the 3 point piston to the shaft that rotates and lifts the small arms (rock shaft?) that is not really attached at either end.

I would assume that during the lifting process the arms were forced higher and that rod fell out of position. I think yo should also inspect the upper cover for cracks and breaks. I doubt the designer would think that someone would think lifting as you described would ever be done.

When you move the three point control lever do you hear any noise?
