| The hydraulics on my 7020 all seem to work fine just that when using 3 point I have to constantly move lever to maintain height what can I do to get the 3 point to stay where I set it? Thanks |

Are you using the position control? That will keep it where you want it. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift. Gleaner A |

Not to insult your intelligence.....as I don't know if you're familiar with the tractor or if it's relatively new to you. The lever with the number scale by it is a traction booster setting, and the lift arms will move but will move up and down in a way that would be inconvenient for mowing. With that lever all the way forward, the lever just beside it should position the arms and leave it there. If that's how you're doing it and you're having the issue you describe, then you have a traction booster valve/ linkage problem I would think.

| If the position control lever wont stay put, then you just need to tighten the friction adjustment on the lever, there is a locknut sticking out of the side of the console to adjust this. |

Not sure how a 7020 is set up, but my 200 has traction booster, a position control lever, and then another lever with 4 positions. I believe they are raise, hold, traction boost, lower. this is the lever you use while working, the other two are basically settings ------------- Farmin' with 1981 7010 PD, 1983 6080, 1983 8010, Gleaner R42 in Darke County OH |

Is this true for all the 7000 series? I thought the 7000 was basically a 200 with different sheet metal and other small updates? Pardon my ignorance Im still learning everything. 200 is the biggest in our family rn. ------------- Farmin' with 1981 7010 PD, 1983 6080, 1983 8010, Gleaner R42 in Darke County OH |

| Position control lever on a 7010 and up have a spring loaded plastic friction disc on the outside and a flber pad on the inside with a spring to let it pivot out of the way when you pull back on the lever to raise. The spring then helps set the friction rate higher when lowering to help hold the lever in one place. |

The 7000 is similar to the 200. 7000 series is completely different hydraulic system. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift. Gleaner A |

| I’m assuming I need to to side console apart to adjust/check friction disk? |

| Adjustment is thru the side...nut sticking thru the console side. Top can be removed to visually see the parts as the plastic disc could be broken/missing or the fiber pad glue could have let go and it's missing. |

I had some pictures that I sent to someone when I changed the shifter cables, I could not delete the text for the cable but I highlighted the 2 screws in blue for the tension adjustment on the 3 point and traction booster. The head of the screw is sticking out of the outside of the console side panel. |
