Hi all,

My L355-SS Position control lever has no resistance and falls as soon as you let the lever go. 3 Point hitch operates fine.
Is there an adjustment that I need to make to put some resistance on that lever so it does not just fall down to lower position?

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks @North Idaho Wolfman . I was just about to go out and see if that nut would put more tension on it, then we were suppose to get some rain so decided to wait till tomorrow.
I will report back.

Do you happen to know how the draft control and position control levers are suppose to work in tandem? I have just been using the Draft control to raise or lower, then the position control to set height. However in the manual that I have it makes it seem like both can be used that way.

Disable draft - its only for plowing furrows.

Use position control to raise and lower your other implements.

@TheOldHokie That is pretty much how I have been using it but I was confused by the way the manual was describing it.

Mostly skidding logs so I will be using the position control for that.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I was able to tighten the tension nut to get proper resistance, them tighten jamnut. The lever now holds in any position i want it to be set at and won't fall with vibration like it did before.
