Can anyone help with troubleshooting the 3 Point Hitch control on a Case MX150?
The arms will only move up and down a tiny bit near the top of the stroke when the knob is turned while activated. The display shows Error code 5.
This seems to indicate there are no mechanical issues but the electronics are getting a message that is stopping everything. I suspect it is stuck in draft control but if so, it refuses to come out when I go through the ritual described in the manual.
The dealer's mechanic sat in the cab reading the manual and twiddling the knobs for a couple of hours, then left it the same as it was before. That did not stop his boss sending a bill for hundreds of dollars. We don't want to pay any more for the mechanic to educate himself, so I want to try and identify the problem somehow.
Can any kind soul help with the following:
1/. What is Error Code 5?
2/. I cannot see anything that senses draft control. What is used for draft sensing?
3/. Provide copies of relevant pages from the service manual or other advice explaining how the system works?
4/. Suggestions about what might be happening?
Thanks for reading and any advice you can offer,
Rolf
