I have a 1952 8N that hasn't been started in about 5 years. I've been converting it to 12v and cleaning the fuel system getting it ready to start up. However the 3 point is in the up position, I know it should have bled down after all of the time its been sitting with a box blade attached. I'd like to know if anyone would know what would cause this and could give me some advice on what I should be looking for. I have no history on the tractor, just acquired it.
Thanks, Dennis

Most likely something is rusted/corroded and stuck. What? Anyone of a dozen things could cause it. From the top...the lift arms are frozen, the lift arm shaft is frozen, the lift shaft bushings are frozen, the piston is frozen, the internal valving in the pump is frozen, the exhaust valve if frozen, the control rod is frozen. The exhaust control rod is broken. The exhaust valve is clogged.Etc.
Open the right side inspection cover and try to nudge the lower half of the control rod toward the rear of the tractor. If this fails and you must lower it, try removing the test port plug. In any case my advise would be to remove box blade and pull the lift cover. Something is not right and after sitting this long there's probably others things that need repair or replacement. You could also try leaving it until the engine runs and work the touch control lever, position control lever and PTO. You might get lucky.
