Why won't my 3 point go down?

[tallyho8]

I bush hogged for a couple of hours on my L4400 and raised the bush hog up to move to a different location. When I pushed the right hand lever to let the bush hog down, it stayed up and won't move.

I am not familiar with the workings of the 3 point but looking at it the lever turns a shaft on the right side. I don't know if this shaft goes all the way through and comes out the other side but if it does, the shaft coming out the left side does not move when the shaft on the right side goes up or down. I took photos to try to show you what I am talking about.

Is the left hand shaft supposed to move with the right hand shaft? If so, why is it not moving? If not, what would make my bush hog stay up when I push the down lever?

Right hand side lever

Left hand side shaft

My Kioti has a knob below the seat that controls the 3PH decent speed. My feet sometimes bump it enough to close it, which prevents the 3PH from going down. If you have 'that' knob, see if it is closed.

Yes, check what David said.

I will check that first thing in the morning. Also I will check the allen screw on the shaft to see if it may be loose and even though I see the outer part turning, if it is loose, the inner shaft may not be turning.

You were right. It has been over 10 years since I touched that knob and forgot all about it. THANKS!!!!!

"Because it's married?"

Sorry... but it's funny how that works.
