I am trying to work on my neighbors John Deere 4100. It sat for a couple months this summer. When he went to use it nothing happens when he moves the lever to raise or lower the three point hitch. The front loader and power steering works fine. I played with the rate of drop knob and still nothing. I changed hydraulic fluid and cleaned the screen. The linkage is in tact and the shaft going into the case turns when I move the lever but doesn't seem to have much resistance to it. I took the link arms off to make sure nothing was binding but it wasn't. They are stuck in the up position. I feel that since there is not much resistance on the lever that it is probably something inside but I don't know what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
