3-Point Hitch B3030 3pt hitch quit working.

robvsp · May 30, 2012

My Lift arm broke off of the plate on the control valve. I bought a new plate and put it back together, but nothing will work on the 3 pt. hitch. I checked the fluid and it is full. I didn't have any problems until the lift arm broke while I was cutting grass. Any advise would be appreciated.

Are you talking about the lower lift arm (hitch component) or the primary lift arm that is directly connected to the hydraulics?

The only thing I can think of is the feedback control rod may have come disconnected during your re-assembly. It attaches to the forward-most part of the upper lift arm on the right hand side.

The plate that i replaced is just in front of the feedback control arm. I had to pull it out slightly to get the plate off and put the new one on. The bolt that the lift handle attaches to is what broke off. I will try and add photos this weekend. Thanks in advanced.
