My neighbor has a Ford 3000 diesel tractor.
The problem is the 3 point won't stay set. It comes up real strong with his box blade on it but the only place it will stay is all the way up. When it is up it is continually jerking like it is against the relief valve. When that is happening it interferes with the loader dump circuit.
It appears to me that all of the hydraulics are run off of the one pump that is gear driven off the engine.
I am a Cat guy and know little about wheel tractor hydraulics. I am sure this must be a known problem to some of you guys. Can anyone give me an idea to go about fixing it?
Thanks so much,
Tom
