super major 3 pt lift problem

blue water massey

Well-known Member
i just picked up a super major desiel ford 5000
when i went to look it over the 3 point worked perfect
after i got it home it worked fine for about 10 mins
now it still lifts and lowers as it should but the handle control to the right of the seat only moves about 1 inch someplace towards the middle of the stroke
i have no real contol anymore its either up or down and only up if i hold it there
is there a simple fix or do i have to take the top cover off to fix this issue
i don't have a manual yet not to sure where to find one even
thanks for any help
 
Hi:

I had a similar problem on my Super Major, where the handle that operates the hydraulics was very stiff, adn would only move back and forth slightly.

It took some patience, but I blasted it where it comes out on the side of the top cover with WD40, and worked it back and forth until it freed up, and it is now working fine.

I really did not want to have to take off the cover.

I have some fordson manuals which I could email to you.

Hope this helps
 
after soaking the 3 pt lift handle 3 times a day over the last 3 days
it still only moves about an inch in the quadrent in about the 1/3 mark from the front
its free for that amount of travel as long as i hold it up the 3 pt does go completly up and down in this little bit of the handle movement
thers just nothing in between so all i get is completly up or down and very quickly in both directions
I;m convinced that something internal has broken or shifted it's placement
hoping it will last the winter this way and 'i'll work on it next yr once the weather warms up
thanks for all of your help
