Sounds like one of the spools in the loader valve is not centering. That blocks power beyond flow to the 3pt.

how do i fix that

looks like the consensus is the valve is sticking, the bucket works fine, only issue is the 3 point in the lifting direction. can some one tell me where the valve is? from videos i think it is where the stick is and the ball bearings get corroded.

Hopefully your problèm is the joystick linkage is just sticky with age and hanging up.

I would suggest you inspect, clean, and lubricate the linkages. Verify that both spools are returning to neutral when you release the handle. On your loader the valve is mounted on the right loader tower and covered by a plastuc covrer and rubber dust boot. Not sure how you get access to it but should not be overly difficult. Possibly nothing more than pulling the boot back but ....

I had anothet look at the parts diagram. There are no ball bearings in the joystick linkage.

I think you are talking about the detents in the valve itself. My advice is dont go there unless you have to. Exhaust other options first.

Then go for it. Personally I would visually verify the spool is sticking BEFORE taking the valve apart.
