Hi,

I now own my Father in Laws Kubota L2850 and was recently brush hogging around the camp. I wanted to experiment with the Position Control Lever a bit to see if it had any effect on the brush hog and, it is stuck in the full up position likely because my FIL never used that feature; he used the tractor for brush hogging and moving snow and dirt.
Before I try digging into this lever and try and free it up, does anybody have any experience with this type of stuck lever issue and can offer some advice?
I've attached a page from the Operators Manual with the lever circled.

Thanks for any assistance,

John

Ran into this on a different tractor that was stored outdoors and unprotected. Get out the penetrating oil an lube up the linkage. Start working it and it should free up.

Corrosion, dirt and water are not your friends. Once it frees up a little fluid film or spray grease will help keep the moisture out. Makes for a great dust magnet after.
