Draft control is slow to lift

Skeeter102 · May 21, 2015

1950 8n. Position control works fine but draft control is extreamly slow to lift. What should I check? Oil is new and full until it ran out the bottom of the bolt hole on the inspection port cover.

hen one works & the other doesn't, that will be a linkage problem, because the pump, valves, ram, etc. are all common.

It's a linkage adjustment problem. Needs my adjusting jig.

If it has not already been done you can loosen the four bolts holding the quadrant to the lift housing and knock it back with a hammer and retighten
the bolts. The holes that the bolts go through are elongated and are made just for this adjustment.

Just to clarify, knocking the quadrant back is an interim adjustment until it can be done properly with the jig?

That is correct.

When the quadrant is moved it may fix the draft so it moves the control valve more and it may also change the position mode and make it start to
raise more toward the bottom of the quadrant and to come all the way up lower on the quadrant as if it were in draft mode which actually it is when
the touch control is raised high enough that it gets to the point where it would raise all the way up if it were in draft mode.

In my pea sized brain it took me years to figure out why the N lift and the hundred series etc tractors just would not act like they were in
position /height mode when the touch countrol handle is at the place where draft would normally raise the life. It's because the draft still
contacts the control lever/valve at the same place even when in position mode.

I hope this makes any sense to you since it took me so long to fully understand why this happens.

Adjusting the quadrant back as you described, resolved the issue for now. Thanks!

So, what does that indicate is starting to go out?
