3-Point Hitch Handle moves very hard

[Thomas B]

Just picked up a 2003 4210. 3 point up/down handle moves so hard seems like I'm going to break something. It does work, just takes 2 hands. Where do I start?

Loosen the friction spring washers.. assume lever key #2 is the hard one to move and spring washers (key #10) may be rusted or stuck together.

Shafts 28 and 33 might be rusted and thus frozen. It was heck, but I was able to take it apart, clean and regrease. I had to make a special tool to get the shafts driven out. I consider myself to be about an 8 or so out of 10 on the level of mechanic. This job was not easy, but was pretty straight forward if you have reasonable mechanic skills.

My 4310 had symptoms of the 3 point not acting correctly to the lever's location.
