I have been so busy with my Position control add on device on the N page that I have negleted to tell you guys about it.

I call it the ZANE THANG and it gives you position control on the TO Ferguson with the Ferguson system that had only the option on constant draft control.It goes on in a matter on minutes with no change to the existing parts of the tractor or lift and can be disengaged to allow the normal use of the draft control. I have sold quiet a few through the contacts on the N board and have some glowing feedbacks on the N page.

Installation of the position control.

Nothing has to be altered to install the attachment to allow you to have position control on the 9N 2N or TO 20 etc. It bolts onto the outside onto the existing components. It take only minutes to install with a few common hand tools. There are 4 or 5 bolts to install and a bit of adjustment to align things and you are in business. It will hold a boom pole in the position where you put it and will not drift either up or down until you move the control handle just as you normally would if it were an 8N with Henry�s position control.
I have one on my TO 20 and I just get excited every time I go out to use the tractor now. I have had this old girl for 34 years and always had to have chains and bars etc to use my hay rake or drawbar when pulling the trailer etc. Now all I have to do is move the original control handle up or down just as you would on an 8N and put the lift where you want it.

You take your hand off the control handle and the lift stays where it is put as long as the engine and pump is running. If you should want to use the draft control all you do is loosen two nuts and you have it back in the draft mode with no interference from the add on attachment.

I think your description of the operation of your Ferguson lift is normal. The lift has no positional feedback system like the Ford 8n. The 8n has a cam on the rock shaft that actuates the pump control valve to replace oil (leakdown) in work cylinder, maintaining lift arm position. The Ford also has draft control. Feedback is through the lift spring behind your seat. Keeps a turn plow at the correct depth. The Ferguson only has draft control. Try pulling the control lever all the way to the top, release the clutch only long enough for the pump to raise the arms into position then take the pto out of gear. I have added chains to hold my rhino mower at a constant height...catching a higher or lower link according to conditions. Gave up on finding that magic spot where the arms stay put, can be dangerous to look away.

Boy, I can relate. My lift is giving me a headache. Check you fluid, if low use 90w minerial oil. Expensive but thats what the MF dealer recommends. Do you have air bubbles in the fluid?
If so, two common things, 1. Seals in the hydrualic pump are shot, 2. Seal at the hydrualic
ram is shot.
From what I can tell, it is quit a job in either case. That's why mine will go into the shop. Hopefully. Good luck.
