JD 4610
Looking for some help on a 3PT issue. I have a 2003 JD 4610. When I move the 3PT lever to the full up position the hydraulic pump does not release and places a continuous load on the engine. When the 3PT lever is moved approximately 1 inch forward of the full up position the pump will release and the load on the engine will stop. I've talked to a couple of JD service personnel and have not gotten an answer on the problem. Thanks for any help on this problem.

LWerneke - welcome to TBN. Lot's of knowledgeable folk's here.. and once in awhile the advice is well worth the price!

Sounds like maybe you got somethin' goin' on with your 3pt linkage.

I'd pull the rear tire off (tractor well secured with blocks and floor jack if possible) and crawl under there with a good light and check the linkage movement while someone runs the lever thru the up-down (engine off).

Let us know what you find out!

Welcome to TBN:D

Check and lubricate the linkage from the rockshaft lever to the transmission case-it gets sticky after a while. There should also be an adjustment for the feedback circuit for the rockshaft, but I would have to look that up on JDParts to confirm.

Did you check the drop valve behind your legs ?

LWerneke:

The lift arms are probably not engaging the rockshaft position feedback, so it keeps trying to lift when it is already full up. On my 3320 this is relatively easy to adjust. The feedback linkage rod comes out from under the seat and is attached to the end of the left side rockshaft, where the lift arm is fastened, by way of a bracket. It is adjusted with two nuts threaded on the rod on either side of the bracket. The arms should stop lifting about one inch from the top. Your tractor may be different, but it will have this adjustment.

I also have a 2003 4610 and have experienced the same problem sporadically.
The machine is new to me but only has 350hrs.
