3-Point Hitch Lift raising by itself

olts.

It might be elsewhere on this forum, but just in case it isn't, the glow plugs on the 1700 are off the shelf NGK Y-401-3s and are available on Amazon and part stores for $11-13 bucks. The thermostat can be replaced with a Stant 13008 and goes for about $4 at Advance. It's an 180 degree tstat but works fine.

Thanks again,

Glad it work out pappy and it was not more than the simple fix. Great find on the glow plug. I make sure to save it for future reference. I have not had a need for Thermostat yet but keep that info as well. You might pick up a box of assorted cutter pins for times like this. They are pretty cheap at HF and pretty cheesy as well. Sometime a thin nail works fine till you get a new cutter pin.

Welcome to TBN and happy 1700 owners for the most part.

JC,

If the lever is vibrating up there is a tension nut on the liever shaft that needs to be tightened. On my 1900 there is a cotter pin that has to be removed to tighten the nut up some.

Thanks for the tip. Got it fixed today. I found some of JCs posts with a page out of a shop manual and followed the instructions. Quite a chore as the nut and cotter pin were rusted badly. A little persuasion with my lug nut pipe finally broke it loose. Also got the lugging problem fixed by adjusting the linkage.

Thanks again,
