Fordson Power Major -no 3 point operation

Hi I am headed out to a friends property this weekend to check over the 3 point issue on his tractor - he sent me a picture today -it is a Fordson power Major - I do not have a manual yet since I just found out the model today -he says that it used to lift the front wheels of the tractor off the ground when lifting round bales with a 3 point hay spear. Now the 3 point won"t lift at all. I am new to these tractors. What preliminary tests can I do before getting a manual? Are there relief valve/ unloading valves that I can remove to check spring condition? location? any pressure test ports? I have done some research on line. I will need to get a service manual, but I want to check the tractor over first to make sure I get one for the right model. Where is the serial number located ? what age /years were these produced?
Thanks
Ken
 
1958-1961. serial # is on right side of engine block. First serial # in 1958 was 1481091. 1st Ser# in 1959 was 1494448. 1st ser# in 1960 was 1538065. 1st ser# in 1961 was 1583906.
 
We have a super major and had it only lift the arms a couple inches there is a spacer between the ram and rock shaft under the top of the diff cover or something that had fallen out. All so is the pto working? Pto and hydraulics are all run together off the second clutch in the in the dual clutch. If you push the clutch in half way it should disengage the transmission and all the way in the transmission, pto and hydraulics. If this is the issue it may have pulled the rivets out of the clutch they are known to do this. Hoping thats whats wrong with ours as we have no hydraulics or pto at minute. Also there is a lever on the super major on the left side of the gearbox near the clutch and it can be used to disengage the hydraulics or pto or something i carnt quite rember what it does as we never used that
