3 PT lever seized

Have a tc33 and the 3pt lever is seized. Any insight, have had the tractor for 20 years and never has happened?

I don’t know if this is your problem or not, but the castle nut for the 3 point position control lever can be loosen to make it easier to move.

Position Control Lever Stiff

Can anyone tell me if there is some type of an adjustment that can be made to the position control to make it smoother and easier to operate on my TC-40D? Mine seems to take an excess of hand pressure to go from the raise/lower position for the 3-point. This really makes small adjustments almost...

I can try to get a picture of the castle nut later.

Castle nut

I pulled the cotter pin from the rear and loosened the castle nut a bit maybe one or two slots and now mine moved freely.

With yours being stuck you might have to pull the linkage apart and lube it and loosen the castle nut.
