I have an MF65 with a G-176 gas engine and standard 8 speed transmission. It has dual hydraulic remotes. I have the by-pass turned all the way in as instructed by the manual. The right side remote (#2, I think) works my implements. It"s a bit slow, but works fine. The single/double action switch on the back of that remote is out, in double acting mode. The left side remote, (#1, I think) raises and lowers the 3 pt hitch without regard to which position I have the single/double action switch, and without regard to where the 3 pt hitch controls (on the right side of the seat) are positioned. Reading the manual, and searching the archives of this site, I learned that if I lock back the left remote lever, that should activate the 3 pt hitch controls on the right side of the seat.Well, it doesn"t. When I locked back the left remote lever, the 3 pt hitch stayed up. I still could not control it with the 3 pt hitch controls. I could also tell that the engine was working harder and the governor kicked in to keep pumping oil through the left remote. I want to be able to use my 3 pt hitch controls. Any ideas what"s wrong? To make things worse, when the oil heats up, the 3 pt hitch starts to leak down. It leaks to the ground in about 5 minutes with the engine running. Holding the left remote back solves the leak-down problem, but since it makes the engine work much harder, that can"t be the solution. Any suggestions?
