I have a 1972 MF 165 diesel and the 3 point hitch no longer lifts. I have used it with various implements weighing up to 1600lbs and it has always worked fine. Most recently I was using an auger and it worked great. But yesterday I got on the tractor to move it and realized that there was zero lift on the 3 point hitch. No noise either. It just wasn't working at all. I noticed that there seemed to be a bit of oil seeping out near the PTO shaft. That didn't seem too unusual to me but maybe there was a little more than normal. There's plenty of oil in the case though. It just stopped working. Any tips what to check first?
