I have a 1950 fergie to 20, when I bought it the seller went thru all the functions and the 3 point went up and down , the pivot control arm was very touchy . I got home and attached a drag blade which is just a 6 ft plain old blade so its not way heavy.
now my 3 point would not move, then it went up til the chains were ready to pop, after a few days the blade dropped on its own . I changed out the fluid which looked like tan lumpy turkey gravy, I had to vacuum it out because it would not flow out the drain . i used a little diesel fluid to clean out the housing , thn re vacumed .
Aftr new fluid i thought it was fixed as the lever controlled the up motion but then with no load on the 3 point it went up to max and is again stuck. I did notice the control lever had a few pieces of metal bolted together to make up the linkage to the control valve . also when I moved the lever past the bolt trying to raise the arms the lever linkage moved a little front to back but very little movement. I do not know what else to do but any help would be appreciated. If anyone is close to Howell michigan I would be willing to pay to make this work correct. All I want to do is play with the blade in the snow
