Working on my m4900 lift arm rod. Heard a clink , now no tension. How do i access. The inside portion? Thru the rear by 3 point shaft?

Only way I know to access inside of rockshaft housing is by removing RS housing from trans/diff case.

You do know that you can lift the arms without any resistance right?

It only puts pressure on it when it rises.

My perception by OP stating "loose" is the 3 pt control lever is loose. Maybe my perception is incorrect?
Your right, now that I re-read it, it could go both ways. :confused:
