MF 150 remote problem

I bought a remote valve kit from steiner's. My 150 had the single remote line from the factory. I got everything hooked up and attached to my disc. After getting the air out of it. I could raise the disc in about 45 seconds. I went ahead and disced my first garden and then in hooked the disc and while the tractor was running I shifted the valve to 3 point. I used the 3 point for awhile on a couple things, then went back to the disc and now I have no flow coming out of the lines. I have put the valve in every position but I got nothing coming out of the remotes, but the 3 point works fine. Did I break something by shifting the valve why it was running. [/b]
 
Are you placing the Position Control lever
in the Constant Pumping position when using
remotes? Then move lever out of that
position and then switch diverter back when
using 3 pt?

sort of the valve is all one piece with a lever to switch the valve from 3 point to remotes. I never done anything to the two levers on the side that are factory, it was working with the position lever all the way back and the 3 point up and the draft lever all the way back. Everything was working fine it was just a little slow to raise but the cylinder is a bigger then needed cylinder on the disk but it's all I have at the moment. As soon as I switched from the remotes to 3 point while it was running I lost my flow to the remotes and can't get them back. 3 point still works fine. Does the 3 point and the remotes run off the same pump.
 
You should first switch diverter so flow is
routed to remotes, next pull Position
Control level all way back to Constant
Pumping. This PC setting is not used unless
you are operating remotes. You can usually hear the pump whine a little when in
Constant Pumping mode. When done using
remotes, put PC lever down a bit so not in
Constant Pumping before you switch diverter
to flow to 3 pt. Same pump.
 
Here is a link to the valve I got. https://www.external_link/MFS3948Single-Hydraulic-Remote-Valve-with-Lever?CID=MFS3948&gclid=CjwKCAjwi6TYBRAYEiwAOeH7GbE0iZvFEkMSM7qYHiv76KGPBZh2jQ40kENNiJgv6n3YKAlj1Nv-8xoCBnIQAvD_BwE the little gold colored valve is the one I flip down and when I do, the remotes wont work. When I flip it back the 3 point works fine. Did I break something in the valve when I flipped while running.
 
Are you for sure moving the Position
Control to Constant Pumping setting and
Draft lever also is back. Make sure the
round knob adjustabke stop is not
preventing the PC lever to get to Constant
Pumping position, usually have to wiggle PC
lever to bypass the adjustable stop knob.
If still no flow to remotes, did you ensure
the Stand Pipe seated correctly when
diverter was installed?
 
To add to my comment below I attached a pic
from my 165, likely same as your 150.
Curious if you are moving the inner
Position Control lever past the 2 bolts
that are adjustable stops into the Constant
Pumping position? Push PC lever out to side
and pull to get past the bolt stops, that's
needed to get remote pumping. When you want
to stop using remotes move PC lever down
out of Constant Pumping before you switch
diverter lever back for 3 pt.

I got it figured it out. It was just air locked. I put two fittings in the remotes and keep cycling the valve and finally oil started coming out. I then got all the air out of the cylinder that the tractor had worked in it. It started working again. I went and got a smaller cylinder and it will lift the disc in about 5-8 seconds.
