I am restoring a 1949 Ford 9N tractor. I have worked on the hydraulic system and now I finally hve it lifting great, but when you lower it it takes a very long time. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks

We really do need to know what it is, because if the simple one-fix-fits-all suggestions do not work, the operating parts of the pump & the control linkage are different. Anyway, the first thing to check, regardless of model is the fluid; do you have enough of the right type & does it have any water in it? Next, pull an inspection plate & stick your hand in the pump base w/ the engine OFF; is it full of sludge? If so, the exhaust valve could be clogged. A good cleaning by washing them out w/ kerosene, removing the sludge & replacing the old fluid w/ the correct level of Ford/NH 134d or the originial spec 90w mineral oil (GL-1 is close) never hurt any of these pumps, 2N, 9N or 8N.

T.F.G. Models 9N, began in 1939, serial # 1 thru 1943, #105412. Models 2n began 1942 serial # 99003 thru 1947, # 258504, Models 8N began in 1947 serial # 1. thru 1952 # 442035. Many of our tractors are now a mixture of 9n,2n and 8N parts, engines, transmissions and rear ends. Ron

The serial number on my Ford tractor is 8N T00712. The problem is the hydraulics will lift but don't want to come back down. Thanks for any help.
