Problem solved

[Spencer]

<div class="bbWrapper">I installed a set of rear remotes about a month ago. Unfortunately I did not test the full range of the new lever until I had the tire back on and the new rear wheel weights installed. I found out that when I went to use the lever for the 3-point hitch that it would hit the new lever for the rear remote. I wasn&#039;t sure if it was the rear remote lever or the 3-point hitch lever that was bent incorrectly. If I just bent the new rear remote lever to make it work then if and when I installed the second rear remote I might have more problems.<br /> <br /> I finally got a replacement rear remote lever from my dealer tonight and got it installed. When I set the old lever on top of the new lever I could not visible see any difference in the bends. When I put the new lever on it was a lot better than the old one. As far as I can tell the levers were bent identically but where they were welded on to the round tubular shaft at the base the first one must have been welded wrong.<br /> <br /> So for the last month I had to jam some cardboard to hold the rear remote lever out of the way of the 3-point hitch lever. I didn&#039;t have anything to hook up to the new rear remote so it wasn&#039;t a big inconvenience other than having to take the tire other parts off again to install the new lever. I have a new hydraulic toplink now so I want both levers to be just right.<br /> <br /> Here is a pic of how the levers hit each other.<br /> <br /> Spence</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I wasn&#039;t completely happy with the original 3-point lever so I tweaked it a little bit before I put everything back together. Here is the final pic, both levers work smoothly and the don&#039;t hit one another.<br /> <br /> Spence</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Nice looking job. Do you have any photos of the finished product a little farther back so we can see how it all fits in?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Spencer,<br /> Where did you get your remotes and hyd. toplink?<br /> Nick</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi Nick,<br /> I&#039;ve wondered where you have been. I got the remotes right from Burnips and the toplink from Gearmore. The toplink was the only one I found that was the same size when fully retracted as my factory toplink.<br /> <br /> There webiste is <a href="http://www.gearmore.com" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">www.gearmore.com</a> but I found no info on the toplink there. I had to call the 800 number and talk to them in person.<br /> <br /> Spence</div>
