Have Cub Cadet 7305; 2000 model. The 3- pt hitch has no pressure; will not lower or raise, can literally move it around with my hand. Control knob open. Changed all fluids/filters. I can't find the problem. Can someone help?

Plp2200,
Most obvious and simple things first........
Have you checked to see if your PTO control lever is actually moving the valve it's connected to? Is it possible that the control lever has come loose?

The PTO works. The 3-pt hitch raise/lower lever seems to be connected as far as I can tell. My machine is hydrostatic drive and front loader & backhoe works fine. Is there a separate pump for the hitch? ....

You mentioned that your backhoe works fine. Do you have a diverter valve somewhere that locksout the 3PH when the loader is connected? ....

I am new to owning a tractor. I don't know what you call it; its the hydraulic manifold block I think. Shutoff is in the "S" position, with loader attached now. I have 2 hydraulic lines going to my joystick from the T port. I have 1 hydraulic line going from the P port. There is nothing attached to the N port. Flow valve is turned on. Would any of this cause the 3PH not to function? Thanks. ....

Not sure, but think this is the source of your problem. Many times when a back hoe is attached, a diverter valve/manifold is placed in the hydraulics. When they originally hooked the BH, they may have diverted the hydraulics from the 3PH. With most BH installations you have a sub-frame that makes the 3PH solid. You don't want the 3PH to move so it may be disconnected.
On another of my tractors, the diverter valve disconnects hydraulics from the loader. In this instance the loader is none functional when the BH is, etc.
Is there any kind of extra valve handle or switch on this manifold? Do you have any loose hydraulic quick-disconnects? When you take off your BH and disconnect the hydraulics, you don't have some kind of jumper hose going to another quick-disconnect do you? ....

I found my problem; was something really stupid and simple. Had to disconnect T port and connect to N port while backhoe not attached. Thanks for your effort though. I used to live in MI for 15 years but I was a troll. ....
