I am new to tractors so its possible I am just ignorant. I have tried searching but I have been unable to find anything.
I have an old 2N that I got for free because the previous owner was just going to let it rot in the woods. I have fixed up and have it mostly working. However, when I hook up my bush hog it wont raise up.
It has plenty of power and holds (150 lbs up for over 48 hours) as I replaced the Ram cylinder and Piston. The issue is the top link if it is not hooked up the tractor will lift almost anything but when hooked up a slight tug on it (away from the rear of the tractor) and the arms drop to the bottom. So when it tries to lift the implement it goes up a couple of inches until the front of the bush hog leaves the ground, that puts weight on the top link and it drops back down. Rinse and repeat once the bush hog hits the ground again.
There must be a solution, maybe I put something back together wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. I am hoping someone that knows more about these tractors (or just tractors in general maybe) can help me.
Learning as I go trying not to let a piece of history die.
