3 Point lift stuck

[xsidewinder]

The 3 point lift will not move on my 1975 Ford 3000, I have not used it since last Dec. When I started it and tried to lift the 3 point lift it will not budge....thanks

The tractor has a dozer blade mounted on the front and it is operating fine

is it down or stuck up?

have you changed the position of the ASC valve?

are you using a top cover remote tied open to power a front hyd circuit?

? how is the front blade plumbed?

hows the rear oil look?

have you checked for loss of prime?

if no top cover valve.. do you have oil at the option cover test port/plug under the seat?

post back some details.

could be a sticky unloader valve if you don't have any oil bypassed, have enough oil, and pump is working..

post back

Not sure on the 3000, but if a remote valve is not in the center detente position the 3-point will not work on my 3600. Took me weeks to notice that once. Kind of thing guys here that grew up with these machines think of without even realizing they know it.

YMMV,
