One day the 3pt works the next day it won't. The fluid is full. It extends the ram out but will not let the hydraulic fluid drain back.

Won't lower at all? If your quadrant lever moves right down, 3point should lower fully. Seems like your lowering valve is jammed or has become disconnected. Try putting some weight on the back arms, sometimes thick oil, stiff ram (swollen seals), or general tightness in the linkage can cause the arms to hold up.
