3000 Three Point

[LTFT]

My 3 point acts kinda strange. With nothing on it , it jumps and jerks on its' way up, slowly, but if I put my weight on it , it comes up like its suppose to. I put a gauge on the remotes and it reads 1500#.

I don't have an answer but will ask a couple of questions. Have you fill in the blanks so others might help.
Do you have it in draft or position control?
Have you tried bleeding the hydraulic pump?
Air in the system could cause the low (1500 psi) reading. Air would also cause the lift to jerk and chatter. Are your remotes hooked to anything?

 

[LTFT]

It is position , But does same in either.
Bleed my pump , but bleed for maybe 10 seconds, is that long enough?
Remote not hooked to anything, just gauge on lift side.

I went completely through the lift on my 2000. It was chattering on lift and would lift intermittently in the cold. Still chattered after that then I rebuilt the pump. Didn't look bad but after replacing the check valves it worked. It took 15-20 minutes bleeding to get all the air out. I put a hose barb in the bleed port and ran a hose back to the fill plug. Looked clear when it was running but when I shut it off there were 1/2 inch bubbles in the hose. Give it time.

Had pump rebuilt last summer, hadn't work right since. Found barb and hose,
hooked up and had lots of air , ran for 30 minutes and had little bitty bubbles
so run for 15 more, got better but little bitty bubbles. Put plug back in and
three point worked like it's suppose to, and 1900# on remotes.
Thanks a lot .

Glad to help. You just never got a good bleed since the rebuild.
