Mickey, there is nothing wrong with your lift, stop changing the oil! The hitch on these old Fergys is a "draft control" hitch, it was intended to lift an implement up, or set it down, not hold a set position.
I see Marlowe just left a response - do what he says to set-up your hog. I adjusted my hog according to his instructions this Spring... it was like getting a new tractor. I took the stay chains off my hog and never looked back. As for a position control linkage, it is a simple linkage that gives you position (height) control on your lift - so the lift will stay exactly where you set it... comes in real handy if you are using a scraper blade, bucket, and other implements. They can be made or bought. There are a couple guys on this forum that have plans for a make-it-yourself position controller. There are also some pictures of position controllers in the "galleries" on the left side of this web page. I have a position controller called "The Zane Thang" on my TO-20, I got it back in 1999. It still works great, I attached this link below so you can check it out. Also, go to the top of the page to "Archives",and do a search for position controllers.... you will get a ton of hits of past discussions on controllers.
