Sounds like a better plan than me taking off the tire and spraying pb blaster in the valve.
3 point hitch won't lower

I would only take my suggestion as a "if everything else has failed" as I only have ~10hrs experience with a BX (15yrs on a TG1860), but many years on cars and bikes.
ie: I don't even have enough time with real tractors to be dangerous !!!

Ya, when you get it unstuck use it every time you use the machine... I do... It is odd yours got stuck on a cab model. It is the weathered open stations that are problematic. Heck you may have a bad control valve...You got any other tips other than pb blast the sob?

I've always done some of my own car maintenance and minor repairs.
I also own a LBCC (Little British Classic car--Austin Mini)
The BX though is totally new territory for me.
I'd listen to the experienced guys before me (just being honest)
I know when to stop giving advice. (ie: I'd never tell you to take anything apart for example...cuz I'd have no idea if it was a spring loaded can of snakes or what)
Good luck. I am rooting for ya
Well. That doesn't sound too hot to me..
Once unstuck I'll rotate the sob everytime for sure like clock work.

The dial is still stuck, with more PB blaster going in during lunch break.3pt hitch height still working great. No issues since fixed friday.
I appreciate the help everyone.
Thank you

I adjusted both those back-end nuts lose on the one above the drawbar(that angles the implement) and the one on the right-hand side that keeps it from shaking back and forth (sorry don't know the terms off top of my head). Put as much downward pressure as I could and it seemed to just "pop" lower. So honestly I have no idea. But I ain't complaining. Check for leaks/ grinding, warped threads, and the operation is back to normal.
Goes fully up and down. I am a happy camper other than the stuck open/close valve.
I took the seat off to get a better angle for spraying the pb blaster... Looks like it is sealed so guess I can't do much more. Dont want to take the retainer ring off. And go much further.
Time to call the dealer

Mutual agreement with the dealer:
A) Even though I cant control the resistance it can hold implements, raise and lower as it should.
B) They will send someone out or get me a trailer in due time ( It isn't harming anything and since my tractor still functions properly I said as long as it gets fixed under warranty; it could be 6 months from now and I am fine with it)
Ordering a Work shop manual.
