The Smith dizzy, GB carb and new head gasket have my front mount N purring.
Next issues are PTO is hard to engage and lift drops...
The N had a 5ft hog chained with lift chained up, but left hog at farm when I brought N home to get running.
Lift does work, but is slightly jerky without a load. I removed dipstick cover and looked inside with PTO engaged and didn't see any turbulence in oil-but lift didn't have a load either. Arms stay up overnight w/o load and today rigged 3 batteries to lift as a light load to test. Lift falls from 32"high to ground in 5 hrs.
This is my first tractor. I have not removed PTO shaft yet to see if splines are twisted. What could be causes of the sticky PTO shifter and leakdown?
Thinking I should change relief /safety valve in pump. What else should I look at, change or test? Thanks for comments.
