I have searched this on the web and apparently it is a very common problem. Even though others have offered advice, no one has ever came back and said what fixed it. The 3 pt hitch lever wont stay up without using something to hold it in place. I use a bungee cord. It moves the hitch up and down fine but will not stay up. The lever seems very sloppy. Some have talked about a washer that needs to be replaced as a possible cause but again no one has said if it worked. Anyone come across this problem and fixed it?
