MF 1635
I just bought a MF 1635 used with 172 hrs. The 3 pt hitch lift control lever is really stiff. What is the remedy if known?

My 1643 has the same issue and it was like that since day one.

Not to state the obvious guys, is there a friction washer set-up for the lever? Not sure that an owners manual would provide that sort of information but a call to the dealer might provide some insight / direction.

Leave it stiff! You dont want it too loose, or it could drop on its own, on a sudden stop. Just need to learn to feather it. It is a mechanicallever, not an electronic one.
