Hey, did a brief search and i dont see anything relevant.
My L1501 lever drops.
As i raise implement its normal as soon as i let go of lever it moves on its own,downwards.
Is there a tension adjustment for the lever,i see a double nut but dont want to start poking around blindly and cause other issues.
Thanks in advance.

The height control lever on your three point hitch should stay where you put it. There may be a mechanical friction adjustment under there. My PTO lever didn't want to stay engaged but a bit of lubrication solved that.

Yes loosen the nuts up and tighten the inside one a little till if feels good then lock it in, if it won't get tension on it, replace the 2 spring washers under the nut. ;)
