I've been watching this thread over the last day or so but I don't have any solutions.California, one of those links was pretty insightful, thank you!
It helped to clue me in as to why when the 3pt is up, I am getting that fluid feedback back through the loader valve control spool.
Which indicates to the problem I am having which is not being able to find the 渡eutral for the 3pt.
What if, I have it adjusted and get it into the neutral spot, but the 3pt doesn稚 hold up? What would that mean?
Seems to me your theory of fluid leaking back through the loader control might be a clue of excessive pressure, a blocked return path, downstream from the loader valve. The fluid is supposed to just bypass at zero pressure through the loader valve and back to the sump (also bypassing through the 3-point control when it isn't in use) - except when a loader control is pushed/pulled to divert fluid out to a loader cylinder.
If all the hydraulics aren't the cause, then possibly that repaired linkage isn't right. The linkage may be calling continually for 'raise 3-point' when actually you don't want that.
I'm stumped. Aside from all my beginner questions in the threads I linked, i don't have much knowledge of hydraulics. I've never had to troubleshoot hydraulics like you are doing. My loader control replacement project ended up as a like-for-like replacement of the old dribbly control. After asking a lot of questions I decided to ignore some of the graybeard hydraulic specialists (self proclaimed?) on TBN who insisted the way Yanmar recommends in the YM240 manual, could never work. It worked before the replacement, and now, after.
