Hi, this is my first post although I've been a frequent visitor for quite a while.
I have a MF165, perkins diesel, not sure what year. I have a very long driveway and I use it for blowing snow off my driveway. My property also has some fields that I keep mowed with the bush hog. I was blowing snow today and the three point hitch stopped working suddenly. The power takeoff is still turning but it wont lift the blower. One minute it was fine, next .... nothing. I dropped the snowblower off and tried the arms again but nothing. It doesn't seem to be even trying. It was cold today, but no more than normal for sure.
I have the seat off and I have also figured out how to take everything apart above the arms that aren't working. I haven't done that yet because I really don't know what I'm looking for.
I'd be grateful for anyone willing to talk me through repairs / troubleshooting.
