    Adjusting 3pt lift lever..?

    Hodge .... I have a finish mower on there now, but it makes no difference whether there is an implement attached to the three-point or not. It is not a big deal , but it would be a little bit more convenient having more travel on the arms to adjust the brush hog when mowing with that.
