The video walks through disassembling the control valve linkage, identifying a missing washer that caused a broken end link, and installing a makeshift fix. It's narrow and technical rather than a general review, best suited to L3560/BH92 owners troubleshooting similar seal or linkage failures after dealer service.
Posted by an owner-operator documenting their own tractor's repair issues, with a skeptical view of dealer service quality.
The dealer reassembled the control valve linkage without a washer on one side, letting the ball joint rock and repeatedly hit the valve housing until the end link snapped off.
The owner clipped down a larger washer to fit as an inner spacer and added an outer washer for thickness, which stopped the link from hitting the valve until a proper part arrives.
It worked fine for about 50 hours after the dealer repair before the top of the end link snapped off, despite the tractor having almost 400 total hours.
