I have a 1951 8N and recently had the arms to the 3 point hitch "freeze" in the raised position. I say freeze as I live near Syracuse NY and it has been quite cold, but I try and start it and use it often. I understand the need to engage the PTO and release the clutch to use it but have tried everything I can think of to lower the arms and it does not seem to work?? I am afraid to put to much pressure on it as I may damage something internally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Had the very same problem last weekend. I heated bottom of tranny housing, lift dropped in less than 5 minutes. Changed fluid and all is now well.

Find a heated garage, and leave it in there over nite. If this fixes the problem, drain and refill the fluid.
