Hello all,
I'm attempting to adjust the quadrant on my '49 8N. I'm doing so because I don't get any lift until the position control level is at least 2/3 of the way through the travel.
I'm following the procedure in the FO-4 manual, and while simple enough looking, I still have a couple of questions.
1st, I'm supposed to put the position control lever into the horizontal position. I push it toward horizontal, but before I get there, the lever hits a mounting bolt below the seat. I get close to horizontal, but not quite. I was wondering whether the lever had been removed and put back on wrong. The lever has a bend to it, and it bends in toward the tractor. I'd think that it should bend out, but looking at FIG FO135, the lever in that picture looks to bend in as well. So, is mine right, and is close to horizontal good enough?
2nd, looking at FIG FO136, the rocker lever shown is not visible to me on the tractor. It's full of oil - is it down in the oil? I think I've felt it down in there. Looking into the opening, There is a rod going vertically down into the oil. Is the rocker lever on the end of the rod?
