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.
