3-Point Hitch 1985 --- 7375 series Cub Cadet

[HEC]

My friend bought this tractor not long ago and went to use the 3 pt. hitch and it will only go up at full throttle with absoulutely no load . The front end loader works just fine . The tractor did just sit for awhile so he has no idea where to start looking , if any of you can give him an idea it would be great. He is around my age ( 80 ) and not computer savvy so I will pass any info on to him . Like me he is not a mechanic . He did say the previous owner who also bought it used had a problem with forward and reverse but it worked out of it after some use .Thanks

7375? Are you sure it's not a 7275?

In general terms...
- Is the hydraulic fluid full?
- when was the last time the hydraulic fluid & filters changed? clogged filters sometimes cause this.
- does it have draft control, a lever usually next to the 3-point lift control? (Not sure the 727x's had this as an option)
- Does it have a front loader bucket? Are the hydraulics for the bucket plumbed correctly?
- Did/does it have a backhoe? Usually the 3PH lift is cut out of the hydraulic circuit when a backhoe is attached. Maybe the hydraulics weren't hooked up correctly afterwards.
- There is a HYDRAULIC LIFT FEEDBACK ROD that needs proper adjustment; operator's manual suggests a dealer adjust it.

Chances are you're going to need to get the tractor to somebody who knows what he's doing....

He changed the filters and hyd. full
front loader works fine I would only guess it is hooked up correctly
No backhoe
could be 7275 I suppose it is around 30 hp , only putting info that was given to me , I am nowhere near where the tractor is.
The feedback rod will be worth looking into -- thanks

I’m not at all familiar with that tractor but possibly there’s a valve that switches the pump flow from loader to 3pt hitch.
