Welcome to TBN!

To check the oil level in the rear end/hydraulic reservoir for the 3pt, on the right side, just about even with the floorboard is a square headed plug. If no oil comes out of the hole, add hydraulic oil in the fill plug on the rear axle behind the seat.

If thev3pt still doesn't respond and you have the hydraulic pump mounted on the left rear of the engine, then you may have lost suction on the metal inlet tube that goes across the bellhousing into the pump. Sometimes it is as simple as shoving the line back into the pump. The line is supposed to be held in place by a large clip on the top of the bellowing.

These two things are a place to start.

Our 445 had a differential dip stick behind and to the left of the seat.

Yes, newer models don't need dip sticks or sight levels- lol
