I am trying to fix my neighbors John Deere 4100. It sat for a couple months this summer and when he went to use it in the fall the three point hitch wouldn't raise or lower. When you move the lever nothing happens. The front loader and power steering work 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 it doesn't seem to have much resistance to it. I took the link arms off to make sure that nothing is binding up. The arms are currently in the raised position. I feel that since there is not much resistance on the raise/lower lever that probably something inside the case must be the problem. I don't know what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
