Nope, I hear ya.

In my clumsey way I'm saying the same thing as you. Torsion bar isn't broke as in broke, but the linkage could darned sure be out of wack in there.

It has to be adjusted correctly to control correctly.

I'm no expert in any way, shape or form. Just an old guy that sometimes gets lucky and remembers this 'er that. :>)

Anyways, sounds like you're "over center" on the controls. Have you tried pushing that draft control clear forward (off)? That should give the raise/lower control back to the position handle.

If you've already tried that, I'd suspect that the clamp around the torsion bar has broken, slipped or in some other way it and/or it's linkage has gone south on you. Especially, if it happened all of a sudden.

If the darned draft would not control the plow depth right, I really think something is wrong with the draft sensing linkage.

You could pull the center link bolster and take a look inside. See if that linkage appears to be "sloppy" and/or not connected right.

Hope this helps some,

Allan
