Greetings, I am new to this realm of technology but remain confident that the old school produced a far superior product.
In the spring I purchased this 1951 Furguson T0-20 which has been awsome. It came with an origional Furguson bucket set up, 2 furrow plough and home made blade.
When first I engaged the pto / lift in the spring I was sure the lift was working, mind you I was not confident of the proceedure in so far as the clutch needing to be out to activate the gear, however, I believe it was sticking from inactivity given the Tractor was purchased new by the previouse owner and almost solely used to draw trailers of product on a tobaco farm.
I have used her well over the summer with the bucket and other implements without incident. Last week I had used the plough to loose compacted earth and then attached the blade to grade. After a few passes with the blade she would not lift normally, I am able to get it up by reving really high but the arm will not remail raised. Does this sound like a sticky valve???
I do have the maunuals but there is no specifics with this type of charateristic. It is my intention to restore her for show in the near future and felt I should get the bennifit of familiarization via the voice of experience prior to pulling wrenches. Thanks.
