I have a fair understanding how the draft control works on a Ford 9N. How does it work on a TO35?
Also where is the serial # located?
Thanks

Karl - Just to elaborate a bit on Tim's answer. My response is a bit of an oversimplification, but the ford Ns and the Ferguson TO/TE/20/30 were all essentially the same as far as their hydraulic systems. They all had depth control, that it, you could control how deep the plow went. If the plow suction became too great and began to pull the plow deeper, the hydraulic system would "lift" it to the proper depth.

The TO-35 made an improvement in that it had position control. This is particularly valuable for implements that tend to want to come up, rather than go deeper. Scraper blades and disk harrows are two good examples. The TO-35 has the ability to expert hydraulic pressure downward to keep the implement from coming up. That was a major improvement.

Well, it will be somewhat the same. I have both a Ford 8N and a MF TO-35. I have plowed in the past with a MF50 (identical sister to the TO-35) and the one thing different is that on the TO-35, you'll use your large lever raise and lower the plow and use the smaller lever (the one with the two knobbies on it) to adjust the depth of the plow.

You can then make minor adjustments to the depth of the plow (like if you hit a nasty soft spot) with the smaller lever.

So, it's the same as the 9N, except you have two different levers.

I think I'm getting confused myself here...

(Ok, so just put the plow on the tractor and go give it a try. No matter how bad you do, a good disking will make it all look good)

Karl: Admittedly, I have not done much plowing, but in so far as I know the draft control on the TO-35 should function much the same way as the 9N. Design wise I believe that they are the same! One difference though is the TO-35 should pull quite a bit stronger than the 9N. The serial number plate on my TO-35 is located just to the left of the steering column. It should be stamped on a small (3sq.in.) plate that is screwed to the instrument panel. I hope that this helps! When you find the plate, and determine the serial number, and if you are interested, you could e-mail me here; and I'll give you your tractor's approximate "date of birth!"
