This comes under the "I must be dumber than dirt" category, BUT, I can't figure out how you slide the bar, with the block mounted to it, through the right side rear opening to hook it up to the lift? I've tried pushing the bar through first...but I can't put the block on it...not enough room in the frame. DOES ANYONE HAVE A 3 POINT INSTALLATION MANUAL THAT THEY CAN EMAIL ME A COPY OF?
THANKS Guys !!!

Country, it will not go through there with the front pivot block installed. The block must be installed after you get the lift bar in place. It is not easy, but if you remove the two carriage bolts that mount the ratchet for the tractor lift arm to the frame rail (nuts are on the outside of the frame rail), it becomes easier to put the block on the lift rod and to get in there with some needlenose pliers to install the cotter key that holds the lift bar on. It's almost a job for a young, limber, double jointed, snot-nose kid rather than us more "mature" individuals that have been 39 for awhile, but with enough grunts, groans, and name calling, we can do it. And believe me, those parts are know by a lot of different names, most of which are not suitable for print.
