Help can稚 figure this out quick hitch issue One side seats the other side does not.

[Nb707]

Where is circled in green it will not seat meaning the locking mechanism is hitting category three bushing but on the left it is seating and is working correctly I even took a level to it. It’s level meaning the lift arms perfectly level . I just cannot figure it out. The top hook is even seated all the way. off by 1/4 quarter inch

Lower the top hook another hole so the bottom pins can sit on the lower hooks.

It doesn't need to sit on the bottom of the top hook.

Still need to shorten the right lift arm a bit. I know you said it is level but it looks off in that picture.

Or move the top link pin and bushing up to the top hole and adjust your hook height after both lower latches are latched.

Thank you

The top implement pin should not be weight-bearing, just forward-backward limited.

As an example, one solution, for those with blocked access to the implement top pin from the bottom, is to invert the hook so the opening is down, place it over the pin. then bolt the hook to the quick-hitch.

That happens to me occasionally. I found 2 reasons for it. Either I didn't back into the implement squarely or the top link needs extended 2 or 3 turns. Most of the time, adjusting the top link will fix it for me.

My top link is hydraulic and I tried that and it didn’t work. But thank you I’ll give it a try again I’ve got some good solutions here I’ll try more see which one works

You need to either lower the top hook (red arrow) or raise the bolt (yellow) so the lower pin can sit down further.

The top bolt (yellow) is probably bottomed out in the hook preventing the lower pin from seating.

Sort of defeats the QH concept.... Better to modify/fix the implement once....
