Upper Lift Arm Range of Travel?

I'm trying to figure out if the overall range of travel for the upper lift arms on my 2N can be adjusted inside the tractor's hyd assembly. When I lower my lift arms the leveling box will rest on the axle trumpet, and it still wants to sit lower still. I thought maybe I could re-index the upper arms, but they only fit on the shaft in one position. Any thoughts about this situation?
Thanks, Casey

Isn't there an adjustable stop on your touch control ? That'll keep you from lowering the lift arms too far, and you should lose the problem of so much lag time when you want to lift your implement quickly. That's the way my NAA is set up...don't know if you have that on your 2N.

Casey..... ....far as I know, the big upper lift arms do a 90* rotation and rest on the rear axle trumpets and lift the lower arms 7/8" balls from 8" to 38" as relayed by the leveling box rods..... ..... Dell

Sooo...what yer saying is that my situation is normal? It just seems that there's so much slack at the lower end of lift arm travel. When I use my back blade or whatever, and want to pick up quickly there's lots of waiting after I pull up on the lever before the arms start doing their thing. Just thought that maybe I could re-adjust the range of travel within the hyd-assembly to account for this lower range slack. Maybe I should just give a little more slack to my 60 year old machinery...she's been a good ol worker.

When the touch control lever is moved down below where the lift arms are set, the hydraulic fluid will continue to be bled out of the lift cylinder because you are telling the the lift arms to keep lowering keep lowering even though the lift arms have stopped. When you raise the touch control lever back up, the lift cylinder has to refill with fluid back to the level that the lift arms are at first before it will start to lift again.

It's the same as if you let your lift arms all the way down and then rased them up by hand and then propped them up half way, then rased the touch control lever. The lift system has to fill with fluid first, back to the level of the lift arms before it will raise. I suggest that when you lower the blade to drag the ground that you get used to stopping the touch control lever just barely past where the blade touches the ground and not push the lever all the way down, or just get used to the lag time. That's just the way these old tractors like to be.
