I can't get the lift arms to lift on my new to me D17.  the remote cylinder works but the arms will not move.  I tried every thing I could think of and nothing worked.  I even drained the transmission to see if oil was leaking from the ram or the hose but nothing comes out of the drain hole when I cycle the hydraulics.  I was wondering if this tractor could have a selector valve?  Where is this located?  If this is not the case I am at a loss.  Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. 
Thanks

The tractor is a series II snap coupler.  I tried messing with the transport valve but that did nothing.  My I&T shop manual talks about an optional selector valve.  I was wondering where this is located.  Maybe this is the problem.

The hose that supplies oil for the internal lift cylinder probably has a hole in it.

Would't oil run out of the transmission drain if the hose was leaking?  Trany oil drained and drain plug out.

Bypass the transport valve.

The lift arms on the 3 point on my D-10 series III would not work. I worked on quite a while before I found the problem. I found a needle valve, much like the ones on a carburetor put about 3 times larger.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you a picture from my parts book.

Might not be the same as yours.

I'm not very good at posting on here.
