B7100 3 Point Lift Question / Problem?

[Willl]

Ditto what ozley said.

Those shafts only move about a quarter turn or so. It's very possible they're at 'up' position right now.

Awesome. I hope that's all it is! I'll install the arms today and see what happens with some weight on them.

I see where the knob should be, but your machine does not have it.
I think Ozley's sharp eye has given you the answer. Put it together and watch it work. There is also an adjustment where you can tune the rate at which it lowers.

I just assumed a HST.

With the arms on everything just may work properly. What I had referred to would would have been the adjustment for the lift stop.

is there a way to find out if there are any members here who live in my area? I am hoping I can find someone who is willing to help me hook up my 3 point hardware. I have all the pieces and I have no idea how to hook it up properly. I know this is probably pathetic to most of you but I learn by watching and taking something apart, When I have pieces I have no idea what I'm doing. I really want to get my 3 point operational and could use a hand. Is there a search feature here by zip code or anything? I'll even pay someone for their time. Let me know and thanks again for all the help so far. I'm really hoping once the 3 point stuff is hooked up it starts working. If it doesn't, I'll let you all know but first things first.. need to get it hooked up is my next step.

Here's the best pic I have handy. Click on it for the full size version. Hope it helps.

If it doesn't quite get you there I'm sure the TBN community can guide you through this.
Maybe post a pic of the collection of parts you are dealing with.

Good point on it may already be all the way up. Mine won't drop even with the draw bar on unless there's a bit more weight on it. Put one of the arms on the shaft and put your weight on it while pushing the lift lever to the down position. I'm gonna have to look at the pics more closely on a pc.

I see where the knob should be, but your machine does not have it.

Here's a picture of the knob Tig mentioned. Seems most come with it but not all of them. Hopefully your lift is already in the up position and just needs to be pushed down.

here is a picture of all my random parts and I have no idea how it bolts up. I'm hoping someone here lives by me so I can pay them to come help me hook it up. I have no idea what position to install the arms either.. it's just confusing as **** to me. I put these arms on and pushed down as hard as I could and they didn't budge. I'm still not sure if there is a problem or not with the 3 point lift.

That bolt that is painted is call a adjusting bolt in the parts manual. After you get the arms on and get some weight on it try opening a turn or two and see if the 3pt goes down.
