peter lena 8,634 #52 Posted October 4, 2021 @Jeff-C175 as you are finding out , its all in the details , reading you going from function to function , is what its all about. found that a rusty , crusty part of any linkage point ruins the smoothness and most important , ease of its intended function. another thing i do is to washer up and lubricate every area , just adding 3/8 " of washers to the start of the pto lever rod , along side battery , on the ground rail , increases the solid lever ease . then i tweaked the pto lever arc for a better , smoother engagement . glad it worked out for you , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
