3pt hitch follow up

my IH 364 3 pt hitch started operating real slow yesterday and on idle it will not rise at all. I checked the fluid and its full. valves are set to OPEN and FAST. There is one pump that operates the 3 pt and power steering. I have not checked the strainer yet. Any other ideas or things i should check. Don,t be afraid to be very technical with me. - THANKS
 
Hi John, if PS is working good, then I would suspect the flow control/divider valve. Its function is to assure the PS always has priority hydraulic flow over the 3pt. On the earlier models of this tractor there were 2 hydraulic pumps ganged together, one for PS and one for 3pt. All the ones that we had on our farm had the 2 pumps, so never had a flow control/priority valve apart. Check caseih.com parts for parts break down. I am sure there is some kind of spring and ball mechanism and an orifice.

Good luck
