JD3520 3PH lever needs tightening

[tuolumne]

My three point implements will often slowly drift downwards, especially if the tractor is on bumpy terrain. Is there a way to snug up the lever to prevent this? It seems to have gotten worse lately.

Most have a lock nut of some type.

That said, I don't use my lock nut. Use a short bungie instead.

Thanks. Now for the challenge of access to those nuts!

My 3520 does the same thing but it falls fast. It just happened all of a sudden one day so something must have broken. I have to bungee it now when I am traveling or the implement will hit the ground hard. It's aggravating but something that I can work around.

For some reason I was thinking you were talking about the top link of your 3pt was unscrewing. Sorry, my bad.

Do you see from the attachment above how to adjust the lever, and can give that a try?
