My Ford 861, 3 point hitch will not rise. What could be the problem? The oil level is o.k. Will not rise even 1 inch. Please e-mail: [email protected]. Need suggestions soon.

A completely sheared cam follower pin will also prevent the 3pt arms from rising. Did you have to pull the 3pt control lever nearly to the top position before you received a response from the 3pt arms prior to this happening? Pull the top cover and see what you find. Top cover removal is pretty straight forward, though having a helper or a hoist is a good idea.

When you remove the top cover, which includes the draft control spring assembly and lift arms, set the cover upside down on a work bench or a set of saw horses. The underside of the cover will look similar to JMOR's photo.
The New Holland p/n are as follows:
87022330 Top Cover Gasket (You will need to renew the gasket after removing top cover)
374072S Cam Follower Pin
727-2122 NAPA O-Rings. You should renew the o-rings before replacing the top cover.
There's a good how-to video that I've linked to that demystifies the top cover.

Hi Colin,
Thank you soooo much for your replies. I checked Rachel on U Tube, too. The pin and the cam are fine. I am thinking that it might be a sticky unloading valve. Maybe not? I do not know what else to check? Do you have any other ideas or helpful hints for me? Please know that I appreciate you. Thank you, Ken

Ken, I think JMOR suggested the unloader valve route early on. That is not something that I have not worked on, so you'll have to ask him about troubleshooting that. Sorry that I can't be of more help.
