I have an AC 5050 for many years

All of a sudden the hydraulicsthat rais and lower the 3 point hitch is barely working

I checked the transmission fluid and change the filter. No change

I have to admit I am not well versed in the position of the levers to the right of the seat except for the up and down (assuming that may be the problem)

Does anybody have any ideas on how to trouble shoot or other thoughts

Thanks for any help

Richard

What does the operators and service manuals say about this?

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

It’s not something to do with the sensitivity lever on the right hand side

Sounds like maybe an air lock,hook up an open ended hydraulic hose to one of the remote outlets and let it dump some oil in a 5 gal bucket to purge the system of air.Leave the 3pt lever in the up position while you are dong it.Also might check the seal in the cover of the hydraulic screen to make sure it has a complete fit,if it lets any air by it'll stop the oil suction.
