After putting up with a "jerky" 3 point hitch for two and a half years I've finally decided I'll find out for myself if it can be adjusted to make it smooth. I've seen some videos that show really rough movement, and some that are really quite good, so there's obviously something that can be done about it.
Whether that will require a different valve, or simply adjusting the one I already have is what I'm looking to determine.
Mine is one of the later L3400's, built in 2009 with a serial number of 85831. It's supposed to have position control valve (PCV) part number YR908-00102, which was installed in L3400's with a serial number greater than 72622 according to the latest data I have to work from.
This morning was dis-assembly, since the PCV is located under the top transmission case everything above it has to be removed.
The seat comes off easily by pulling the hairpin on the right side and sliding out the pivot pin, then I removed the two steel covers over the transmission and rear axle, using a 12mm socket and wrench.
Next came the seat base, it's held in place with 4 bolts, 12mm wrench. I unplugged the seat position switch and left it mounted on the base.
