I was out mowing on my old john deere 3010 and backed my mower deck into a stump hard enough to raise up the front of the mower deck and the 3 pt hitch to the high position.
I pulled ahead and went to lower the 3 point hitch back down and nada, the 3 pt arms are stuck in the high position and will not lower.
The rocker shaft cable and lever on the side of the hydraulic case are moving normally, and I cant see anything that is binding or holding it up and preventing the 3 point from lowering.
Could it be something inside the hydraulic motor/piston that is broken? I never heard an unusual noise.
Any insight as to what is holding the 3 point up? Anything I can check?
thanks in advance
