        I don’t know if the 3-point hitch has a built-in pressure relief valve, or if I would have to put one inline in the steel tubing.

          I would suggest figuring out what is leaking and just fix it, it might just have loosened up fitting. have you pulled the seat and floor board out yet? I thought that I had a bad remote valve cause it would not actuate properly. ended up just a piece of wood jammed in the control that I could not see till I pulled off the floor board panel.

            Are these valves with levers screwed onto the tubes? If so you could probably just remove them and put caps on the tubes. If you bought your tractor used it is possible that the valves were put on to replace the quick connectors. If they are common hardware store water valves they can’t take the pressure of the hydraulic system.

            My Jinma 284 had quick connectors on the ends of the tubes. If they are the same as the quick connects for the FEL they are just 1/2″ pipe thread.

            If your tractor is like mine the pressure relief is in the proportioning valve near the bottom of the steering column.

            If possible please post a photo of these valves and point out where the fluid is leaking. That will allow us to better understand what is going on and make suggestions from there.
