I have a B3350 and just added rear remotes and a hydraulic top link cylinder. That all went well and it works great.
Since the upgrade my 3 pt migrate down unless I manually hold the control lever or set the control lever stop screw. In the past I used the set screw to avoid dropping the three below a certain level, like while running the brush hog. When the lever is 2/3 to all the way Up it holds fine otherwise it seems to vibrate down. I’ve looked for something to tighten up but I don’t see anything nor does the wsm mention anything.
Does anyone have an idea what I could have done?

I do not know your tractor but have looked at the parts illustration which shows a friction disk likely to hold the control lever in position.

Thank you I’ll check it out first thing in the morning, I didn’t think to check a parts diagram. Brilliant.
