Ford 2000 lift problem 3PTH

[bigdieselman]

helping a friend with his 2000 Ford with 4 cyl. gas The 3 point wont lift, pump has good pressure. Took the 3 x 5 plate off the front of lift cover and oil comes out hole to the right. We put compressed air in the port hole to the left of the check valve and the lift arms raise. Could the check valve in front of lift cover be stuck ? Tractor was setting for 5 years before he purchased it Thanks for any help

If you aren't having issues with losing prime, the most likely suspect is a sticking unloader valve, especially when tractor sits for long periods.

The unloading valve is beneath the top cover. These two posts discuss the unloader valve and may prove valuable to diagnosing the lift problems you are currently experiencing.
