1030 3 point problem

Matt in Mich · May 4, 2015

Need some help with 3 point hitch problem. When I let the 3 point hitch down, the lever returns to the up position as soon as the implement bottoms out. Is there a sensor setting that needs adjustment or something else I'm missing? Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I had a 930 and 1030 in the 80's when I was farming that would give me fits with the three point and hydraulic system once in a while. It's a fairly easy fix. Pull the seat out and underneath there's a relief valve. As I can remember there are four bolts either 5/16 or 3/8 holding a lid cap on the valve. remove the cap and inside there is a plunger and cylinder. Pull the plunger out and clean and shine up with emery cloth. Do the same on the cylinder the plunger sets in. A fine speck of carbon or foreign material can cause the tight clearance of the plunger to hang up. This can affect the hydraulics also. It seems I would have to do this about once a year on both tractors. Give it a try and let me know if this fixes your problem. I'm almost betting money this will cure it.

Tighten up the friction disc at the bottom of the DOM lever, so it stays where you put it.
