The HA does not lock in any position unless the side links interfere. It never locks in any other position as long as the hitch bar is in place. Ever.

Ed, is the statement above a reference to my statement below found on page 23 of 25?
"...that shows the motion of the HA lock to lock..."
If so sorry about the poor choice of words, I should have said stop to stop, since the hitch definately has a limited range of motion. If you listen closely to the video that Tim posted for us you can clearly hear a clunk as the hitch stops moving just prior to the end of the video. I was in a hurry when I made the video and have not had a chance to investigate exactly what made the sound. I believe that it was the sound of the side links hitting each other, as you said above.
If your statement above was in reference to something else, then please excuse my paranoia.
