3 point hitch

[Hambone]

Hey Everyone,
I could use a little help, I think.
I am having issue with hitch not lining up right. I looked at it for a while and just couldn't figure it out.
I might walk out again and it hit me in the face, you all know how that goes.
It looks like everything is in a bind, not straight
Let me know if you need more pictures.
Any help appreciated

I just went out and looked at mine. I was focused on the adjustable link on the right side. I thought your looked bent and cocked to one side. Mine looks identical. I don’t see anything obviously wrong.

See the top of left arm, cocked real bad.
Well it is pulling the lift arm that goes into top of case, then breaks of the bracket that goes to the MMM

Have you adjusted your turnbuckles to see if that evens it out?

Looks like the swivel is not "swiveling". Needs some penetrating oil or lube.

Here is mine. It does look like the swivel might be in a bind.

Fwiw - I keep a spray can of WD40 with the tractor. I spray everything that moves, rolls, hooks together with it before attaching anything. Really makes it much easier.

Loos pretty similar to mine, thanks for posting!
So now I have to figure out why it is pulling the top link off the shaft at housing.
I have replaced snap ring twice, and that link for mmm is $135
UGH.
To be honest, IMO, the 2210 I had for 18 years was a better thought out machine than this one.
Thanks for thoughts!

As an experiment why don't you reverse your bottom arms/ flip/shift etc. Just to see if there is better alignment. The end configuration of the draft arms maybe mirrored though. I know Dodge Man's picture aligns with you set up. But just maybe the dealer install instructions were wrong or were not followed. Also check for binding/ full range/ if the new set up aligns better. Just a thought.

I’ve also seen the advice of turning them around, making the front the back so to speak. I’ve never looked to see if that makes a difference. I use my 3 point but not a lot. I’ve got 300 hours on mine and maybe 40 hours of that using the 3 point but I’ve never had a problem. I keep seeing a reference to the mid mount mower, which is tied to the 3 point. I’m starting to wonder if that’s the problem.
