Seem to have lost 3 point power after hydraulic oil change. Loader and steering work fine.

Just work the three point lever back and forth a few times while also operating the loader and or the steering.

Still nothing. They were up when I changed oil and held fine. Now no hydro power.
Hmmmm. Loader and PS working so pump is operating properly. 3pt is downstream of loader which makes me suspect it's not passing oil. Did you take any hoses off or disconnect anything?

Oh have started tractor with cap off 3 point cylinder and can stop oil flow with my thumb. I’m thinking that priority valve but not sure. I did take the line feeding 3 point to check for blockage.

Small hole next to cap of cylinder.
We need to back up here. You have done more than just change the oil.

Your PS and loader is working but 3pt is not. If I understand your description correctly our thumb test is simply confirming the 3pt is not getting pressure. I suggest you backup to the hydraulic outlet block and check that the selector valve is in the correct position. If it is remove the loader return hose at the block and verify ypu have steady flow and ~1900 PSI pressure out of the loader valve.

The loader will pick up front wheels. Also this is new to me tractor. I never put anything on the arms but they did work when I got it.
The loader has pressure and works. The 3pt does not and its supplied by the loader. So start at the loader PB connection and trace the hydraulic pressure going to the 3pt. Easy to do and it works a lot better than speculating.

I’ll will post more when I get my gauges but I did loop the loader feed hose back to the block and still no lift at 3 point.

I got it fixed. Looked like a piece of an o ring in the 3 point valve. Thanks all for pointing me in the right direction.
