You will need to get a hold of a preassure gauge that will read 2500 psi or more, put it on the hydaulic pump (mine is near the clutch bell housing of the right side - should have a plug that you can remove to mount the gauge, it should read in the 2K psi range. If not, then you will need to rebuild the pump (If is the old square, vane type, that may be a problem).
If the pump psi checks out, you probably need to replace the O-rings in the 3-pt hydaulic system. That is mounted under a cover above the rear axle, under the seat.
You should invest in a shop manual for that machine.
