That's better! Unfortunately, since you took things apart and then reassembled everything..... If the PTO turns that means your pump is turning because the the pump and PTO are driven together. That doen't mean your pump is good. It just means it's driven which is good. The usual causes of failure to lift is gross leakage in the lift cylider due to worn seals and/or cracked cylinder, lots of leakage in the supply tube to the top cover, relief valve stuck open, or control fork came off the control valve.
Open up the right hand side plate on the hydraulic compartment, start the engine, and engage the PTO lever on the left side. Put the lift lever in the full up position. Now take a flashlight and look at things in the hydraulic compartment. (UNDER NO CIRCUNSTANCES PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING!)Is there more than a few drops of oil dripping from the lift cylinder area overhead? If so it's leaking duew to bad seals, a cracked cylinder or a bad gasket. Using a mirror and your plashlight, look in the right front corner of the hydraulic compartment. Is there excessive leakage? if there is then you'll need to fix that. Now move the control lever slowly up and down and observe the motion of the control fork that's attached to the control valve. Is it moving? if it ain't you'll need to figure out why. Now you said you replaced the control valve didn't you. What made you do that? Did you put the control fork back on correctly? Look near the rear of the pump, Is there a lot of noise and turbulence? If so, your relief valve is open and it shouldn't be.
I believe you said the lift cylinder was loose also before you took it apart. Chances are that gasket between the cylinder and the top cover was the was the root cause of your initial problem. Go make these checks and then get back here with the results so we can help you.
