I have trouble with my three point creeping up while I am using equipment that requires the PTO. I also have trouble lowering the 3 point. At times I will have to let it slowly lower over a few days. When I have heavy equipment on it lower more quickly. any suggestions

You have asked about this before. Will the linkage lift easily by hand?If not the cross-shaft under the seat is siezing up OR have you tightened the setscrews on the end of the cross-shaft, has anyone tightened them up for some reason, if you overtighten these under some circumstances they will tighten the cross-shaft up and prevent easy movement so they need slackening and lock the tab plates up again.

I think he wants you to remove a pin behind the seat, where the top link hooks, then twist the apparatus counter clockwise. The small shaft going through the large spring hooks to the lift control, so the draft control (that never did work even when new) can do its thing.

I dont mean that at all...I mean the Cross-shaft that runs across the tractor with the lift arms attached to it. in either end there are a couple of setscrews with a lock tab that hold a flat plate in position that keeps the cross-shaft cental in the lift cover. If someone has tightend the screws up it will stop the shaft from turning easily....that is what I meant. I never mentioned the control spring at all.
What did you mean by saying the draft control that never did work even when new?

We owned a new TO30 in 1954. The draft didn't work. I perferred driving a Ford 1953 jubilee, because the draft worked good while cultivating nearly 200 acres of peanuts, cotton, and corn. The draft would keep the plows from going too deep.

Well obviously something wrong with it if it wouldn't control and your dealer should have sorted it out..I can honestly say that of all the TE20's that we sold we never had one that did that and we know from trials we did alongside the Ford tractors over here the Ferguson had the better hydraulic system. You mention something about the control spring that you had to unscrew it for it to work...well if that was the case obviously someone had overtightened it in production because that is exactly the problem it would cause. We did have problems with heavy equipment doing light work on light mossy ground on occasions due to lack of force through the top link though, and we had to adjust the spring compression for that to get more movement to sense the depth but generally it was fine. They made over 657,000 TE and TO tractors so I dont think that it was general for the hydraulic system to behave like yours did otherwise I cant see anyone buying a Ferguson. Even Ford must have thought that too because over here they fitted the Ferguson rear end on some Ford tractors because of breakages with heavy work and later they also fitted the Ferguson 87mm Spark engine to some also as they didn't have a suitable engine, silly as it sounds they did.
