JD 4300 Implement lift lever repair- farm improvisation

This is a narrow how-to on one specific annoyance: a floppy implement lift lever on a JD 4300 that won't hold position. The owner shows the worn friction washer causing the problem, the teardown needed to reach it (seat, fender, plates), his flip-and-repaint fix, and then offers a simpler improvised fix using rubber washers for friction. Useful mainly for 4300 owners with this exact lever complaint, not a general review.
