Yes the tractor does have a flow control and I tried moving it up and down. Didn't make a difference. The second time I put it back together the pto would spin and the 3 point would slowly move up but you could push it back down with your hands. I thought the pump must of lost its prime or there was air in the lines but it never got better. To make a long story short. I torn it back apart for the 3 rd time, loaded the hydraulic pump with gease, manualy poured hyd. oil throught the pipe into the filter put it back together and it worked. Not sure what really made the difference. Talked to mechanic and he said to connect a hose to the rear remote lines and let it flow into the fill port in back to releave air in line. Not sure it really did anything. Pump runs constantly anyways. Does anybody have any ideas to what the problem really was. I'm still wondering what really fixed. Taking clutch out throught the side cover is easy and I can now take out and install in 1.5 hrs. Not sure why others said it was harder than splitting the tractor in half.
