Hi,

I just took ownership of a new 4710 with a 460 FEL and 48 BH.

This weekend I removed the 48 BH and assembled the 3 PTH.

I ran into a bit of difficulty installing the left (Looking at the rear of the tractor) draft link.

Specifically, the problem is the mounting bracket for the 48 BH is very near the end of the lower pin that the draft link slides on to. As such it was a very tight squeeze and required a lot of persuasion to get on. Now I don't think I'll be able to get it off.

My dealer was very responsive and came to my house to work on it today. They too struggled and said they were going to contact JD.

In the meantime, I wanted to check to see if anyone else had or has this problem and ask it they have any suggestions or advice as to how to solve the problem.

Thanks,
