My Kubota 9200 HSD 3 point hitch lever will not stay in a raised position. The hydraulics are fine and lift is fine, but the lever will not stay in the raised position on its own. I have just used a bolt and wingnut to hold the lever at whatever height I need, but I would like to fix this problem, as I am getting ready to sell the tractor.
The lever has a nut at the bottom of the arm where it ties into the hydraulic system, but there does not seem to be any resistance when I try to tighten the nut. I spoke with a mechanic at a dealer recently, and he said that it is fairly simple to tighten, but I am having no luck. Any ideas?
This is the lever to which I am referring...
And here is a closeup of where the lever ties into the hydraulic system, and the nut that holds it in. This is the nut that I have tried to tighten, to no avail. I don't know what else to try.
