I have a B2150, About 2 moths ago my 3 point hitch lock in the up position. Haven't needed it so no problem, Today my front end loader just stopped while I was working. Can someone let me know what I should be looking at. When I move the levers the hoses move just like they always do.

Fix the problem with the 3 point hitch first.
If the 3 point hitch feedback rod is not adjusted correctly and it's fully up it may be the problem with the loader.
You can get a Workshop Manual for your tractor here - - will give you instructions to do so.

Good advice from @RCW. I will ask one additional question. Does bucket curl and dump still work?

A neighbor behind me is a farmer & he said that one of his tractors had that problem, a John Deere I believe he said, and that there is a valve in the reservoir that was stuck. Do our tractor have the the same setup?

No. Your tractor and loader are a simple open center system
Could you describe in more detail what happens when you curl and dump the bucket.?
Dan
When I move the lever either way the hoses into the valve box moves like they a trying to push the fluid but nothing move . When I tried to let the bucket down it moved about a 1/4 inch each time I pushed the lever,

The tractor is a B2150. Is the loader an LA350?
Your symptoms are uncommon and I am struggling to construct an explanation that matches them. The 3pt could explain the loss of up/down but not curl/dump.
Will the loader lower when you move the control to float?

Damn!! Exactly which hoses flex when you operate the loader controls?
Are there quick couplers on the loader valve?

Have you removed the loader recently?
The only scenario I can envision that matches the behavior is all of the quick couplers are either disconnected or mixed up.dan

I am trying to help but I need better info.
What model loader is it? The LA350 is the standard loader on your tractor and it has 4 quick couplers for the cylinders.
No, nothing has been done. I was moving brush from a tree that fell & it just stopped working

You are not giving me much to work with - not even a model number for the loader and/or pictures of it.
At this point as @RCW suggested identifying and fixing the malfunctioning 3pt lift seems to be the order of the day.
I could suggest some specific tests on the individual loader circuits themselves that might clarify whats going on but you dont have the tractor at hand.
