Remvoing Lower 3-point Hitch Arms on the BX

[Samwise]

How do you do it? Nothing in the manual. I see how to take the cover plate off that the side to side adjusters attach to. But that just uncovers the pin the two lower arms pivot on. And it seems that axle / pin is trapped between the frame on each side. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Once the center plate is off you can slide the arms toward the center. The ends of the pin sit in removable bushings. Pull those toward the middle and you can tip the big pin out of the oversize holes in the frame.

AND the BX is WAY easier vs my old B2920 which had a solid shaft all the way across. To remove you had to twist/pull/cuss the shaft to the left to remove the right arm, then twist/pull/cuss the shaft to the right to remove the left arm. And no you could not get a hammer between the shaft and the tire. I ended up having to use a giant Philips screwdriver through the pin hole, twisting/pulling back and forth. It would be an understatement to say that I hated its guts! lol

Got the linkage off - just as you said. easy peasy. Thanks for the quick response.
