Sorry if I am doing this incorrectly by posting again. Let me know if this is a no-no.
OK, we have a 50s TO30. In it's later life the machine was used for pushing snow. The Ferguson System/Draft Control is broken and missing parts. We have included pictures.
We are hoping to be able to use the tractor to pull a single bottom plow, a disc, and a tater plow. We gave the tater plow a go today. It was the easiest to install and I had already smashed my fingers three times. Anyway, the lift arms lift nicely, but is very slow to come down. And it also creeps down on it's own. We may try and add weight or put the disc on. I'm sure that not being used for so long contributes to not working well. That's where we are so far. Oh, I am going to replace the hyd, diff, gear oil. I bought 6 gal of 15W40. Wow, expensive. For some reason my mind was thinking 6 qts, DOH.
Is it safe to try do so without the Ferguson Draft Control system?
If not could some one point me to where I may find the parts?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
