The hydraulic pump on those MF135 is in the bottom of the transmission. The three point control valve is attached to it. A new control valve is just under $400 for an OEM part from AGCO. The oil would be another hundred. Pickup and delivery would easily be $200. If they replaced the rings in the pump, replaced the control valve and then adjusted the linkage. It could very well have taken four to five hours of shop time. If they charge $70/hour that would be $300 or more. I don"t think you got over charged on the total bill.
Does the three point work well now???? You bought a forty year old tractor that more than likely had the original pump and control valve in it. So if it works like new than you should get many more years of service out of it. Also on these ,pump in the sump systems, it is easy to mess up the pump/control valve in cold freezing weather. I have seen some that would get water from condensation in the transmission oil.
Drain any water out late in the fall before any freezing. If you loosen the drain plug real slow you can usually get any water to run out before the plug comes all of the way out. Do this after the tractor has been setting for at least over night.

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
