My position control lever has to be shimed foward about 1/2 inch ( from the verticle position ) before it will lift. With the touch lever all the way up it lifts and holds until I move the touch control lever foward A little, then it drifts all the way down and won't lift again till I move touch control arm all the way down and raise up agan. When I move the position lever horizontal it dosen't lift till I push down and hold pressure ( or hold down with a spring ).With spring holding pressure it works fine.(no draft control of course). I only see a very slow drip or two from ram cylinder with a load and raised and feel no oil coming from the safety check valve. I realize position cam and/or adjustment is needed but do you think I also have problems with the pump assembly. THANKS FOR ANY INPUT.

Now is definately the time to replace the cam follower pin. That much wear does make a lot of difference in how the lift works and when it starts to lift according to where the lift control is positioned.
I would defininately obain the correct part to replace it with.Don't go with a cut off bolt etc. as it will wear down too quick.If you are going to consider using a bolt etc you may as well leave the old pin in place because with it worn half way into it out last a bolt etc.
I shouldn't tell you this ,but I have used and ole valve stem by grinding off a piece of proper length.The repalcement is a hardened pin and it has to be hard to prevent rapid wear.Their is no lubrication to the pin. If you foolishly decide to use a valve stem it should be measured with a micrometer to assure the right diameter.If it is a couple of thousands too smalll it may fall out and if it is too large you will ruin the hole it goes in,then the right pin will fall out. Be sure and support the linkage as close to the pin hole as possible while driving the pin in or out.You can do this by holding a long heavy flat ended bar by the pin as it is driven out with a punch of correct diameter. Usually takes two people to do it. One to hammer and one to cuss. Added on Date: 05:50:33 2/14/99

I have re designed the jig that Ford supplied to all the Ford dealers back in the N days and am marketing it to the guys on the N board.If you would like more information about it just Email me.

It sounds like a new cam pin and adjustments will fix your problems.
