I asssssuummmme you have a175-85 190-200 210-220 7000? if so position control lever actuates the piston plunger under the console thingy. it had a feed back linkage that senses the position of the lift arm and maintains a certain height as long as the eng. / pump is running. The traction booser is a beer bellyied guy/gal in the seat. The traction booster is the other lever that is connected to the drawbar D series snap coupler - lower tortion bar and senses load. The harder the pull the more the linkage is pulled and the more the same plunger is pushed that the position control pushes on and the more the lift arm is raised. The idea is in plowing to set the position control to just below the max depth one wants to plow. Then adjust the traction booster to carry the weight on the lift arms so as to transfer weight by squatting the rear tires and leave the plow at the same depth.. In reality it is used to shift up a gear, set the traction booster to a more sensitive setting and impress the heck out of the neighbors by setting anew land speed record. ( a closely gaurded secret of AC owners,, opps)

the traction booster as someone mentioned before is to help the operator adjust the implement a little bit at a time without using the 3 point hitch lever. if you have any problems contact me because i fixed my traction booster on my 175. if you have a problem with your 3 point arms going down most likely it is your traction booster lever that is bent or bowed. fix that and your 3 point arms will work fine again.
