B2650 Feed Back Rod Replacment

[pauly]

Two quick questions.
Was grading my driveway when suddenly I could no longer lift the rear implement. A quick look revealed the feed back rod had broken. Would this be the reason my rear implement would not go up?
All the other hydraulics work.
How hard is it to replace that rod?
Seems straight forward to me. Do I need to have the tractor running to get that rod through the eyelet?
Thanks

Rod is easy to replace but adjustment is critical. I suggest you keep looking for other problems, however.

When mine broke on my B2650, it had no impact on the 3pt operation. Without the feedback the FEL stopped working because the pump was deadheading when the 3pt was raised. I hope I’m wrong in your case.

My FEL was/is working. That was the first thing I checked when the rear lift stopped working.
