Farmall H Lift-All: Someone please straighten me out here. When I pull back on the lever so the little bump on the rod is just rear of the bracket, should the cylinder already be lifting? Or is that position supposed to be a "resting" position? (not raising, but not lowering either). I do have the manual for the Lift-All, but I only see reference to "pulling all the way back on the rod momentarilly, then let go" and that should continue lifting the cylinder until the end of its travel, then it releases back so the bump is just behind the bracket. ...and what do i need to do to fix mine? thanks.

CNKS: I remember my dad once having to heat and bend the arm the pull rod hooks on. The hydraulics were always going down when in the neutral position. I guess that would qualify as an adjustment. He also thought of repositioning the hook on the pull rod. As I recall about 3/16 to a 1/4 inch cured it. This took place when tractor was less than 3 years old. He always considered the fact that arm may have got bent to begin with. Tractor was operated by several people, thus he was never sure.

I would assume that if for some reason these could get out of adjustment in first 3 years, that yes after 50+ years, it could well be off.

Certainly possibly. I don't remember any problems with any of ours.

Hugh,

The ones I've had apart had a sawtooth engagement pattern on the horizontial pipe going into the pump.

Loosen the retaining bolt, and turn one tooth space either way to adjust.

Dunno,

Allan

Allan: You may well be correct, Farmall H was gone from our farm by 1958 when I was 16. I briefly owned a SM in the 60s, don't think I ever drove it myself. I don't profess to be any kind of belly pump hydraulic expert. I would sound to me as though adjustment on that pull rod may have been a loader item. Loaders took their toll on all hydraulic levers over the years.

Dad had much the same experience as Rusty, keeping loader right height for changing pins on buckets or blade. About the only difference I see Rusty is using vicegrips whereas dad used haywire to keep the pull rod where he wanted it. Not that vicegrips hadn't been invented, just that generation, always used haywire rather than go buy a tool. Not on your life, if haywire would do the trick. Sound familiar

Allan, I've been thinking of trying that on my loader H, everything works just fine until I remove the bucket and then the loader will not stay up. Switching from the bucket to the blade gets to be quite a game. Right now I just pull the lever up until it will hold, and then clamp a pair of vice-grips onto the rod.

When the stop is against the bracket, it is neutral. When you begin to pull it back, it should begin to raise, when pushed below the bracket, gravity causes it to drop. Either lifting or lowering should stop when returned to the neutral position. Whether you can actually stop the lowering, depends on the weight of your implement. I have never adjusted one. I prefer to release the lever manually, to prevent it banging against the stop, knowing that if I hold it back too long, excess pressure may build up. It can get hung up in the up position also, which may not be good.
