3 pt. hitch hookup on Farmall M

Posted by mikes54jubilee on May 01, 2014 at 05:40:00 from (67.252.109.254):

I just put a 3 pt hitch on my M and I'm not sure how to hook up the Hyd. lines. the 3 pt has two cylinders. My manual says one cylinder to the front out put on the left side of the tractor and the other cylinder to the right side elbow. The output elbow on the right side has a "T" on it. One side of the "T" has a plug in it and the other end goes up to a control valve. two lines come from the control valve and go to the back of the tractor and stop there. I took the plug out of the "T" and hooked the other cylinder to it. When I pull the lever to turn on the Hyd. pump it won't lift the 3 pt. when I leave the pump on and pull the other control valve lever back the 3pt goes up, when I release the lever to the center the 3pt goes down and when I push the lever forward the 3pt goes up too. I tried unhooking that control valve and just using the output elbow only for the 3pt cylinder and when I pull the rod to turn on the Hyd. pump the 3pt goes up but wont come down and I think if I keep going up it would have blown the line. I had to unhook the line to get the 3pt to come down (and oil all over lol) does anyone know what I'm doing wrong ?
