I started it up to do some box blading and it worked fine. Made a few passes and it wouldn’t lift it up at all.

The draft control hasn’t worked since I bought it (more in this later), but 3 point always worked well.

Fluid is all good and it showed no signs of issues before this stopped.

I have a 4610 and when I move the position control I can hear the linkages moving under the seat/cover, but I can’t hear anything on the 445C.

So I got brave and took the lift cover off with a hoist, but only 4-5 inches up.

I can see the draft control linkage snapped in half, but like I said, I knew that was already broke.

When I move the position control lever nothing moves internally other than the shaft itself. I have the repair manual and it looks like it should be moving the position rollers.

My bravery ended there and I put the cover back on.

Anyone dealt with this before? Is what I’m describing in the linkage likely the issue? Thanks I’m advance!
