I have a Ferguson TO-30 with a 3pth that stopped lifting with a load the other day. It will lift by itself and with me sitting on it but not with any implement attached (NH 451 mower, rear end bucket, etc). I checked the gear oil and it was old and had some water so I replaced it and now it tries to lift (jumpy) but will not get off the ground. When I changed emptied out the rear reservoir below the hydraulics there was a small amount of rusted bits of metal caught in the drain plug which has me slightly worried it"s more than a small problem... Any thoughts on the culprit? Thanks in advance for your help.
