I recently bought a tractor.
Thanks to Majorman, he helped me identify it as a 1963 fordson new performance super major sold as a ford 5000.
The issue i am having is whenever i engage the pto with the handle in front of the clutch, the output shaft starts turning ( which is ok ) but the 3 point hitch lift arms, go all the way to the top. I cannot make them go down, or stay in a neutral position between up and down. I do not have anything attached to the 3 point hitch right now.
The only way the arms go down is by disengaging the pto and after a few minutes, they will go down, very slowly.
Engage the pto and they go straight back to the top.
It did this before i changed the fluids in the transmission and rear end. I used 15-40 in the motor, transmission and rear end and all the levels are where they should be.
There is a control handle to lift and lower the 3 point hitch, and a handle to the right, under my seat.
Should this handle be up or down ?
I dont have anyrhing plumbed off of the hydraulic block at all. .
Those 2 control handles are all that are there. I do not see any kind of flow control, or a push pull type knob or anything.
Which position should the handle be in ?
Up or down for 3 point hitch use only ?
And why will my lift arms go up, but not down when the pto is engaged ?
Thanks for any help.
