Hydraulic lever

Just got this 48 8 N not to long ago want to restore it, got a lot of time and in no hurry, just want to learn as much as possible right now, my question is the hydraulics, it seems to work okay, it has a blade on the back, it goes up and down good, stays where its put even when stut down. The problem if there is one, is the lever, when bringing it up I can stop it half way and the lever stays in position, when lowering when I release the lever the lever wants to drop to the bottom, it won't stay in place, if I want it to stay in place I have to raise it slightly, is that a problem or is there a fix for this.
Thanks
 
There should be a cork friction disc on the touch control lever control. The friction disc is spring loaded to prevent the lever from moving on it's own.

Be advised that most of the adjustment nuts and shafts are corrosion locked. Moreover, the aluminum plate against which the disc rubs is almost certainly frozen to the steel shaft. Heat and patience will likely be needed to loosen it, and it is easily broken if you pry on it.

Post in the 9,2,8N Forum for questions about your 8N. There are lots of helpful folks there.

The friction disk assy. is the most likely culprit. Look up and print out '50 tips for ford tractors'.It has been expanded to over 70 tips. A very valuable guide. Then order a set of manuals(OM,SM,PM) and read them.
