3 pt on 3320 will only lift several inches??

3 pt lift on my 3320 will only lift a box blade or scraper an inch or two at most. understand there is a "stop screw"? also the lever does not go all the way back. is there a stop screw at the back of the lever, or is it somewhere else. the two marks on the right lift arm do not match up when raised. i'm new to this tractor. any ideas? i'm tired of dragging my box blade .......

Hi Larry

There shouldn't be anything stopping the lever moving back unless the linkage is siezing. Try some penetrating oil on the pivot points. Be careful with the 2 friction washers on the slotted hole as they should be dry. You could loosen the nut on the spring which tightens these washers.
What position do you have the P M D lever ? Use it in P for your type of work, it may lift higher and will be easier to set the height.

Mike - Thanks! I'll try the oil. Is there any type of "stop screw" that I should adjust? I've used other tractors and I know the 3 pt arms should go up farther than they are going. I am using the "P" position. The manual refers to some marks on the arm and the housing that should match up in the up positon. They are not even close. So, it seems like something is stopping it short of full lift. Any other comments would be greatly appreciated.....

I hate to ask the obvious and insult you, but have you checked the hydraulic fluid. If this is low it will not lift.

Yeah, I wish it were that easy. The loader works fine. Wish I knew where to go from here. Thanks....
