John Deere 5045e lift arms not lowering solution

This is a narrow troubleshooting clip, not a general tractor overview: a 5045E owner walks through a real problem where the three-point hitch lift arms wouldn't lower after disconnecting a tiller. He covers calling a dealer about the rate-of-drop screw, then shows the actual fix was a mis-positioned lever near the seat. Useful specifically for 5045E owners facing this exact lift-arm symptom, not for shoppers comparing tractors.
