3000 3pt lift

Evening: Took a look at the pin/cam operation, and as you said Bern, the pin was worn close to 1/4 gone, since there is no dealer nearby, and having to order for a week delivery, simple to knock out the pin and press it back in 90 degrees from original position.
Everything works again in position control, able to select draft position, lift goes full up, BUT...Doesn't go down as far as before[ stops about 10 inches from floor] used to darn near touch the floor, Not a problem, just different.
I didn't move the spool valve adjuster, maybe that is where it needs attention some day?
I did discover that taking a 3/8 plug out of the aux valve, lets the 3pt arms down the whole way...as quick as the oil came out:)
Thanks for the help

he reason for the difference is that 1/4 wear of pin. On older Ford tractors, the manual states that the lift should drop another few inches when changing to Draft from Position control & since there are so many similarities in the control mechanism, I would expect the same for the 3000.
