There is a knob that wont turn below the seat about a foot below and i was wondering what it does?

If you’re referring to the knob in the picture below, it controls the drop rate of the 3 point. Has no effect on rate it raises. If completely closed, it will prevent the lift from dropping. If it’s never been turned, it could be stuck.

If you’re referring to something else, a picture would be helpful.

Thats it and 3 point does drop slow.How would i get it unstuck?

 

[NCL4701]

While I've heard of them getting stuck I’ve never had one get stuck, so I don’t know. Hopefully someone else who’s experienced the problem will weigh in.

Mine was stuck, I used pliers and rocked it back and forth, spray some penetrating oil where it goes into the top of the engine case. Do it slowly, might have to let the oil set for a while.

Yes, it's controls the rate of drop of the 3 point arms, only.

DO NOT try to turn it TOO hard or you might snap the small shaft into the tractor case.

Spray with penetrating oil and try to get it turning with firm pressure but not too firm! If it doesn’t move, the spray it again and walk away for some time. Try again later on or tomorrow.

Be patient.

Don’t use WD-40

If you don't get it to turn with oiling it you will need to take it apart and free it up.
