A hydraulic top link also makes hooking up implements MUCH easier, don't know why I went so long without one.
I used Yesterdays tractors for most of my 3000 parts orders.Wow! Thanks everyone. That helps a ton. Great info.
I was just looking at an old Steiner catalog I have trying to find the headlight switch. It only shows generic switches. Any idea where to get a nice original?
There is a good chance that the grease in the leveling box has gotten solid. You can take it apart, but getting the pins out can be fun. Use lots of penetrating oil, a brass drift, and a 5 lb. hammer, and you may need the ole flame wrench but they will come out. You can then inspect it and hopefully only have to clean it out, replace and put fresh grease in her.Despite having video of it working on the farm, I discovered one other issue. The crank on the 3 point lift arm, for levelling, I cannot turn.
Any advice on what to try or do you think it will need to be replaced?
Not sure if it's just seized or if the gears are stripped?

Good news. Trailer manufacturer called me and said trailer is still warrantied and to call them. So that's encouraging. I'll post more once I talk to them.Only disappointment was I broke my 2 year old trailer on the second time I ever pulled it.
Despite the big decal that says max PAYLOAD 5700 pounds, my Ford bent two crossmembers under the floor. Teach me for buying aluminum. But really not happy with the quality of this Interco/Bearco trailer.
Already had to have a bunch of cracks welded under warranty just driving it home with my RTV in it after buying them both.
I put one of my 20 ton jacks under the crossmembers before i unloaded tractor and I got the floor pushed back up level but I can see it move now with just me standing in it.
But at least I made it home.
