Hello All:

The hitch and lift link (name from parts book) seems to be frozen. Any thoughts before I try and take it off to fix?

Had to use a little heat on ours as the grease apparently got hard. Greased it until all the old grease pushed out. Not something that gets adjusted often unless a person does a lot of. 3 pt work.

You think an electric blanket might work?

Yeah it is adjusted kind of high right now. I am putting a fence in with a shaver, doing bushhogginh, little road grading etc.

Want to atleast get it level because the bushhog is kind of sideways.
