I figgered this was a prob unique to be but, my neighbor who bought a BX23 a month after I did was complaining about the same thing last weekend. Of course, I had to realize my solution before he got to it.
Problem: when keeping an eye on a scraper over my left shoulder, I ran out of arm to control the 3PH height (especially in the down position), resulting in extreme fatigue that I promptly treated with liberal amounts of homebrew which usually resulted in a shorter day than planned.
Solution: Rebuild the 3PH control lever.
Detail: The main connection to the tractor hardware is 3/16 x 1 bar bent using a torch and the angle was set by eyeballing comparison with the factory lever. The top portion is 1/8 x 3/4 bar angled to fit. All pieces are welded. The knob was cobbled out of junk oak moulding, shaped on a table saw and 1" belt sander. .. not a real big deal project but sumpthin I needed to git done.
Yes!, I know it needs painting.
Cheers!
