MF 175 Hydraulic Issue

[Farmboy02]

My MF 175 3 point hitch would stutter lifting things up. So I removed the top assuming the seals around the piston were leaking. While removing I saw a few things that looked off. I will attach pictures. The standpipe has a bolt welded to it. And I found this metal piece laying in the bottom of the casting.

That hole in the stand pipe is normally open, but the earlier generation stand pipe is just a tube without that block. I wonder if you have the older set up that wants the earlier stand pipe, and someone modified a later one to work.

I think that's a piece of your pressure control shaft with the roller still on it.
