My neighbor has a 50' 8n that she wants to sell for $1400. It has 4 implements and looks like it's in pretty good shape. It fires right up and sound strong. The problem is the hydrolics need some work. They barely lift up the discs, and then when they are in the up position, as soon as you put it in gear and let out the clutch, they drop back down. They also bleed down as soon as you turn off the engine. Her husband passed away 5 years ago and it hasn't been used much since. He also had wired the small lever on the right side, in front of the big lifting lever, (don't know the name), in the down position. If you don't hold the little lever down hard, the implement drops down. If anyone has any suggestions on whether it would be worth buying and/or what it would take to fix I would very much appreciate it. Just the tractors in my area are selling for $2500. Thanks.

You could say you'll buy it for the $1400. THEN give her at least $2K...a little more if you can afford it! She'll be estatic! You'll get a rush unlike any other you can expearence from her reaction. I speak from an expearence I had once when I was in college. Gave a tip WAY more than you'd expect to the girl that brought us root beers at the drive-in. Still can remember the reaction!! :-)

And you still have a bargan!!

As Dr. Laura says, "GO DO THE RIGHT THING!"

Try moving that lever to the vertical (up) position and try it again. From your description, that lever is the position/draft control lever. In the horizontal position, the hydraulics are in draft mode. In the vertical position, the hydraulics are in position control mode. Search for "position control" and you can fidn out the differences.
