My dad and I recently acquired a 1959 MF 35 - 4 cylinder diesel.
Problem with the Draft and Position levers on the Quadrant. We have the auxiliary valve also in front of the seat. It has two levers and we are using the left one to lift and lower the 3 point hitch. The left lever has a square rod lock rod but the right one does not. The right lever handle is broke off but still enough length to use it. see photo. We were told the right one is for a loader if we desire to get one.
But we cannot get the Quadrant controls to lift or lower the 3 point hitch.
I have been told by my uncle who is a farmer that we should be able to operate the 3 point hitch with the Quadrant Position lever and Draft lever.
But he was not sure what steps to take with the auxiliary valve levers in front of the seat. His tractors are much more modern.
Before I assume the Quadrant Position and Draft levers are broke can someone please help me with the correct steps to take with the auxiliary levers in front of the seat so we can get the 3 point hitch to lift and lower with the Quadrant levers?
