After reading a well written post about the Touch Control I find that mine does not work as designed. If I move it forward about 1" it will drop to full bottom slowley. If I pull it back 1" it will slowly go full up. Full forward or full back moves it quickly up or down.
I have to find a spot between the 2" 's near the center of the travel of the control to stop it at the height I want. Very touchy.
When I bought my 52 8N I was told that the Draft Control did not work. The Position Control lever will not go into the horizontal position, it feels like pulling against a strong spring then hitting something that stops it from moving forward to the locked position for Draft Control. Sorry for so long an explaination but wanted to give a full description of problem.

I just got through fixing an 8N that had similar problems. It turned out that the cam follower pin had worn off enough that it had come off the cam and was binding against the side of the cam itself instead of on the surface of the cam lobe.

I installed a new cam follower pin (dowel) and used my jig to adjust the draft and the position modes. Put it back on the tractor and it works OK now.

See the link below for information on the jig etc.

Thanks Zane. It is getting close to the end of the season so I will soon have time to work on it. I had no idea there was anything wrong until I read the article on how it was supposed to work. Then I went and tried my brother-in-laws 8N and knew I was missing a great engineering feature.

Sounds like you have something broken or binding. My 52 draft control does not work right either. But the position control works. After going in and replacing the worn parts still have the same problem. Decided the draft control is not that important since I don't own a plow. But you need the positon control for everything but a mower. They say it is best to pull the right side lift cover to look for leaks and binding parts. Watch your fingers and good luck. Also there is an experinced tractor lift man on the board (Zane).
