: When the 3 point hitch is raised there is a growl coming from what seems to be the hydraulic pump area. If the hitch is lowered enough to take the pressure off the noisy growl is less. Any ideas?

The pump does have a relief/safety valve. Lower arms, and wrap a chain around the upper arms to axle. Raise lift lever, if noise is same it is the relief/safety valve.
