Another 3 pt lift question for MF old timers, I have a 74 MF 1085,3pt worked fine all summer then when plowing, would not budge when trying to lift plow up at end of row.

The engine labors when the draft is moved to far rear position, like its pumping oil, and when I lift the lift arms by hand all the way up, the engine stops laboring. I'm pretty familure with these systems, all linkage is tight and working, has to be something internal. Any ideas what might have happened?
 
Does it have a hydraulic diverter valve? If so, is it in the correct position?

If no diverter valve, sounds like the piston is seized in the cylinder bore. The cylinder is attached to the bottom of the plate under the seat.
