Maybe giving it a shot of graphite might help? (The powder kind.)
Without reading back over all of it, are you pinning your stabilizers before trying to lock the slides in? I'd try leaving them unpinned and pin them after they slide in.
On our L3830 I usually just lift the 3 point and they drop into place. Sometimes I have to push the bushhog back and forth, but its not a big deal.
