The cylinder mounted under the seat is hooked to a plate that is sandwiched between two other plates on the top shaft of the three point. A bolt passing through the plates locks these solid for down pressure. If you move this bolt back one hole it will pass through the two outside plates but not the center plate. the system will now only have up pressure. Is this doesn't work out for you let me know I can E-mail some detailed photos of the bolt locations.

Funny, I was looking at this very thing in my MH23, and mine floats now, and there is a piece of the centre plate has actually been cut out where two bolt holes once were. Removing both bolts and putting one through the common hole in the three plates would restore downpressure.

I have a question however about the top link. In the manual the tractor end of the link was shown in a picture as fixed, yet on this tractor, the base end of the top link has plates tying it into the ram. Thus, when moving the ram, both arms and top link are moved. The top link moves slightly out and in, and actually has a stop plate which limits travel. The securing bracket for the top link movement is fastened to the tractor on both top and right side, and even uses one bolt hole where the PTO comes out, thus explaining why the PTO shroud was replaced by a modified shroud. This attachment unit was painted red, seems not to have been homemade since it has grease points on the shaft which rotates with hitch movement.

Why would this have been done, and is there any benefit?

Thanks for any info.

I`d have to go look to see exactly but my top link moves with the lower links which throws the the rear of your implement off when raising and lowering and seems to have a breakover point when you go so far when lowering the rear of your implement begains to raise up . I`ve been looking and taking pictures at shows of different setups others have made to make a fixed top link , thats a plan for a cold day this winter backed up by the woodstove !!!

I have not seen what you are describing. It "sounds" like some sort of "Follow-up" linkage. An early version of depth control. Perhaps another 22 owner has more information about the linkage you describe.
