I bought a Ford 860 and the 3PTH doesn't seem to lift high enough. Can someone tell me how high the end of the lift arms should be when at the top? Mine only goes up 22 inches.
It lifts good but just not as high as it seems it should. Hyd pressure is 2500 tested at remotes. Enough oil, I have read about a pin under the lift cover getting worn. Can that do it,
 
Hello saskboy welcome to YT! Maybe I should drop the
K out of your name, but that would be quite rude. This
is not Facebook or Twiiter where a gazillion folks are
viewing these posts. Oddly enough the Restoration
and Repair Tips section on here does not have the
highest viewing numbers. I would suggest you repost
this on the YT Ford forum (see link) that may help you
get more responses.

I am sorry I offended you. It was not my intention. I am new to discussion forums. I posted that because I thought it would get it moved up and possibly seen again.
As for not being many around. I have the only 6 or 8 hundred series ford tractors that I know of that are being used. And have only seen about 4 others in my 72 years. Them in museums. I went to New Holland And they could not answer those questions. Ford shop manual does NOT give that information.
 
Sorry, if I came on a little strong. I was not offended, trust me. I just want you to understand things may not move here as fast as other platforms, in the chance that you might be under the age of 30. I would still suggest to post it on the Ford forum, there is discussion on there about those models fairly frequently.

o numbers for hundred series, but as comparison, the 8N lift range is 8 1/2 to 34 1/4 inches.
 
Thank you that sounds about right. I used these same attachments when I had a TE 20 Ferguson and a 135 Massey and both lifted them much higher.
I guess next thing is lift top cover and check inside.
