My 135 3 pt lift arms are weak when the top link is installed or a taught chain is substituted. I believe the pump to be in decent condition as it will lift a considerable amount of weight with the top link/chain disconnected.
I was reading somewhere that the master control spring could be an issue. There was about 1/8" of play in and out with the spring installed. I pulled the spring assembly and was going to take it apart but someone has popped a weld on the exit hole where the roll pin needs to come out of the clevis. Not sure why that was done, but I can grind it out. I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but here's a picture of the assembly. Anything look amiss?
Appreciate any and all input. The hydraulic fluid is newish, the hyd filter is new so those can be ruled out. Draft control is all the way up, I don't plow so I don't really use it, just the position control.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Jeff
