Make sure you hooked up the lines for the rear properly.
When you unhook the backhoe the line that was attached at the bottom of the hoe has to go on where the 90 hooked on before.
Also, is your stop for the 3-point still in place?

You have to make sure to connect the hydraulics back up (the two on the tractor should connect back to each other. There's also a risk, that if you had the BH on and the hydraulics hooked to it and then hit the 'up' on the 3pt that you can damage the pump for the 3pt because it doesn't have any fluid. The BH should have come with a metal plate that holds the 3pt in the full down position to avoid moving it when the BH is on. Hopefully its just the hoses.

Will your tractor move?
Thanks for the quick replies. I did manage to get the 3pt to move up and down with a farm king box scraper mounted but it now does that slowly. I was careful with the original BH setup and had all the right gear in place. The BH worked well, no hitches and no 3pt movement as lock was in place. The FEL still works well and fast, just the 3pt hitch is now deadly slow. Now, when I slide the 3pt lever to lift position, the engine lugs and very slowly the box scraper lifts.

Did you fully open the valve control between your feet below the edge of the front of the seat?

There are two slots in the thp control. The inside slot is for "quarter inching". This inside slot will make the tph act like you are discribing. The outside slot will usually make the tph jump real quick.
Or the quarter inching adjustment has moved.

Beckmurph you were right. After removing the 3pt hitch lockout (that came with the BH kit) I discovered that the last quarter inch of the outside slot made the tph jump real quick!.
I had bought the BH65 after the tractor and the lock-out lever came bundled with it. The instructions were to lock the pth lever in the down position as accidental cycling of the pth would cause pump damage.
When I removed the BH I slid the lock-out mechinism up the rail, to what I thought was out of the way. I did not know that the lever needed to press against the top stop to lift the pth.
What I learned is that, the pth lever does 3 things, if pulled inwards (towards) the operator and slid down, the hitch lowers in increments "quarter inching" and works along its total length. When pushed to the outside, it does nothing along its entire length until it presses against the top stop and the pth jumps as Bechmurph said. That 5 inches of free travel and not knowing that there was two functions for that lever led me to believe I had a problem.
Great site...thank-you
