3-Point Hitch Rockshaft control lever falls forward

[larrit]

I have a 3203 that suddenly the lift lever for the 3pt hitch raises but won't stay in position. There seems to be no pressure on the lowering. The lever just falls forward. It won't stay up with the rate of fall adjuster shut, but it does take it a longer time to lower. Where should I start looking? Thanks

:welcome:
Is it the hand lever that won't stay?
I believe there is a friction plate that can be adjusted.

It's the hand lever. No resistance at all after it's raised, just falls forward

I think parts key #11(12M6191 DISK SPRING) isn't providing enough friction.

Thanks, I'll take a look

Mine is doing the exact same thing...driving me nuts. :confused2:


Did you have to replace the parts in the diagram labeled #11, or just adjust something?


Thanks for any help you can provide.
