My three point hitch stopped working properly and pretty much stopped all together. I just purchased this on July 4th of this year (2016). I have read all I can find and watched all the youtube videos I could find and still have unanswered questions. I drained all the fluid out and then pulled out the strainer on the right side. I sprayed it with carb cleaner and starting fluid. I found somewhere online that there is a screen on the left side. I found two bolts holding on a metal plate, that is in the shape of a football. I took those two bolts out, but beneath there was something rubber. Not knowing what it was, I did not pull the rubber out. Is there another screen behind it...what is this for? Should I just put metal plate back on and leave it alone? I will try to post some pics if I can figure out how.

I take it it's a geared 2wd B8200, be cause that's the port to install the 4wd lever, and yes that's just a plug in there now. ;)
