    3 pt will not raise

    Dave, I pulled the couplings off and this is what I found. See Pic. I replaced this piece and the female piece and the 3pt went up and down several times and then just stopped. Disconnected the NEW couplings and found this same thing. As you can see the nipple in the middle is off to one side...

    3 pt will not raise

    The loader valve stays with the FEL. I have the bypass hose in its proper place as it has not changed in 16 years when I remove the FEL.

    BX2200 Front U-Joints

    I have a 2001 BX2200 with over 2.4K hours on it. Recently I had a front u-joint go out, the rear of the 2, there are 2 of them. I do not want to purchase the whole assembly, does anyone know where one can purchase just the u-joint? The local dealers where I live want $85+shipping for the...
