the 3pt control on my TC33 has gotten.... odd?

The 3pt lever is supposed to have the positional type valve. SO that the lever has a 6" stroke the top of the lever corresponds to the top of the 3pt travel, middle = middle hitch height, bottom is bottom and so on.

The hitch has gotten slowly gotten ..... it has lost its positional attribute.... you can move the lever down 1/3 of its travel and nothing happens, then some were in the middle of the lever its like oh you wanted to lower the 3pt... here you go, its on the ground now, and the handle is still just slightly below the half way point. Want to raise the lever, nothing happens, hit the top end of the half way point and the hitch moves all the way up and hits the relief.

It should be noted i have 2 rear remotes. and a loader.

This is not the leak down control under the seat. That valve does its thing fine. (cranked all the way in, the 3pt doesnt drop, half a crank out and it drops like a stone, some feathering in between based on load of the 3pt)

Check your position control per the attached document: 3 pt adj.jpg

Turns out the draft control linkage got ripped off the control arm that goes through the housing. The reason was the control arm that pivots froze up. Had to pull the rear remotes and pull the 3pt control off the side of the tractor in order to mount it in the vise and get it freed up.
