- 3ph draft control lower hitch
Second photo shows the end of the rod located on the right side. It seems to go through the hitch assembly, the second photo (with fingers) shows where it connects on the other side, left. Could be the hitch pistons. When I turn this rod clock wise the arm goes higher and when I turn counter clockwise, the arm goes lower. The problem is that when it goes lower, I can’t bring it back up. It’s a hack but it doesn’t seem to solve my issue. Hopefully the hydro pump isn’t shot.

Have you tried changing adjustment location of nuts on rod in photo? Hyd pump won't affect lowering of 3 pt hitch but adjustment of linkage can affect it.
yes, the first nut needs to be loosen and the back one is welded on the rod. Turn the rod clockwise and the 3PH goes higher when lever is pulled up but is limited on the downside. the opposite happens when rod is turn counter clockwise. see youtube video below for more info (not mine).
I am using this tek right now to till my field, I just have to use my wrench #12 every time time I need to raise/lower the 3PH. Thanks for that, at least it gets in the ground.
3 pt hitch adjustment
I have a L3200 and the 3 point hitch will not lift my disk off the ground. I have adjusted the top link to the bottom hole but still not enough lift. I heard that the feedback rod could be adjusted but not sure where it is located. Can anyone help me out with this.

I don't understand why nut would be welded in place. Did you purchase this tractor new or pre-owned?

In the picture your top link is in the highest hole, try your lower holes for the top link.
Also check that your stabilizers are not too tight and causing binding.

I think position of center link in mounting hole will affect height of raising but won't have much affect on how low attached equipment will go.

No it won't affect the lift arms but the rear of the implement will go a lot lower

Utilizing my rototiller the location hole on tractor of centerlink attachment has little affect on how low tiller will lower or affect rear of tiller much. Yes centerlink tractor attaching hole will affect lift height of a rotary mower that extends behind tractor several feet BUT I doubt tractor centerlink lower attaching hole will allow 3 pt equipment to lower any significant amount.
I tired lowering the toplink to the lower hole and no effect on the rototiller. In my case, the radius of the rockshaft lift arms seems limited. I don't think it caused by any of the 3PH components, it seems to be internal. when I turn the feedback rod, it goes lower or higher, but the radius of the rockshaft arms stays the same.
