I had a guy one time that came and got me to look at his tractor with same problem. Come to find out, he was hooking up a 3-point blade, had backed up to it, hooked up the lower arms to the blade just how the blade sat (with hook up points elevated up by just how the blade was sitting on its own, may have been blocked up even).
Anyways, this guy was not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, and was to dumb to know that the blade itself was holding the 3 point system up by how it was sitting and with the lower arms hooked up. He didn't know that the 3 point system only comes down by gravity, and the blade itself was preventing this from happening. I got the blocks out from under it (or whatever it was that was holding the blade up), and had him pull the tractor forward, and all was good. He could hook up the top link then.
Just a thought, if he un-hooked the bush hog with the front of it up on blocks, and didn't notice that the problem was gone after he actually did get it un-hooked. Because I ran into an idiot one time that couldn't figure out even the simplest of the simplest.
Sometimes a guy just really don't know what's going on, until he actually checks it out for himself. Probably not the case with your story. But you just never know. Being a preacher, well I have seen some of them that aren't really, .... just all that equipment knowledgeable. Quite the opposite actually.
