I apologize in advance if the subject is covered in another thread somewhere. Seriously searched for it but could not find the information I need.
I bought this tractor about a year ago and would like to get it back in good running condition again. The engine is a diesel and starts and runs fine. The problem I am having is with the 3 point hitch position and draft control not working properly.
The position control will not hold it's place. After a certain point it drops loosely all the way to the lowest position.
I pulled the cover and removed it. Drained the oil and visually inspected the inside. Found the exhaust filter broken off and laying in the bottom next to the intake filter.
With the unit on a table I tried adjusting draft and position levers as instructed in the FSM I bought. Problem is the pictures are so bad I cannot tell for sure where they are measuring the specified distances for adjustment from.
I did what I thought they wanted and reassembled everything and filled it with new hydraulic oil but now my hitch will only lift about 1" off the ground. Definitely did something wrong but without a good manual I am just guessing.
So my question after all of this is, does anyone know where I can get proper instructions and good pictures for servicing my tractor?
By the way, it also corrects position about 20 times a minute which is way too often according to the manual I have.
I can rebuild a car engine but working on tractor's and hydraulic systems is all new to me.
