Does anybody know where you can get a lift/lower lever arm or rebuild? The little nib is too small so it keeps popping out of the lower/raise detents.

I fixed the one on my D17 XT by replacing the pin with a 6mm bolt and double nuts. Used the open threaded end of the bolt as the new pin. Was able to stand it up 1/16" taller to make up for the wear on the window itself, which if the pin is worn, the window ledge is too.

Fixed the one on my D 15 back in 2019 . Then found out you should not leave the lever locked in the up position. Guess it's okay to leave it in the down position ? Thanks

Down is good, inbetween OK...

Mine could be locked in 'up' as PO used hydraulics out back for 'something'. Maybe a hydraulic motor ?? There was a 3/8" pipe on left side of hyd pump section. I put pipe plug in it years ago.

Thanks Jay, that makes sense.

Your biggest challenge may be removing the pivot pin that retains the lift/lower lever onto the shaft. It may be rusted tightly in place. I think I had to unbolt the steering column to get things apart and back together.

Thanks guys. I was hoping someone made a new or had NOS somewhere. I'd like to eventually restore this tractor. But trying to plow with the lever not staying in the down position made me want to scream. Probably drill it out and do a bolt.
