i have another question, that i had failed to ask before i made myself some stay-chains. when going a distance on the road-way, of approx 10 miles, where are you suppose to have the touch control lever. i would say i was hauling a wood box i made for moving wood from one place to the other. total weight on back 300 lbs. should i have it in the up position, or in the middle, or shut off the pto altogether. i had some slip so i didnt want to bottom out either. one more question. what exactly is the control spring ,that is located just behind the seat, and how nessesary is it to have it adjusted just so you can turn it with your fingers. mine is loose, i do blading and wood hauling, but no brush hogging or mowing. i cant get mine tightened anymore than it is. would it be ok to use a washer to fit in as a shim? thanks again for any information. i know,i know, do i just sit here and play stump the N-men. No i really would like to know , it keeps the tractor in the correct shape, so i dont do something wrong and whats worse ,,,, wrong and expensive. doc

Better check with your SATE, and, have the proper credentials, as required, on your PERSON. Here, in PA, the KEYSTONE COPPERS need all of the funds that are available for their "retirement account", so I've learned. Trulely.

It does not matter where you leave the touch control handle on the quadrant as long as you are using stay chains and the PTO is disengaged.

Doc..... ...yer 9N hydraulic's system was NOT designed to carry implements (wood box) at a constant height above ground. The 9N hydraulics was designed for constant "draft". Draft is the friction load caused by pulling a plow thru the soil. The plow has a natural "sucking" design to pull it under the soil as it is pulled thru the soil by the team of horses or tractor. The draft load is coupled by your "stuck/frozen" spring under yer butt-buckett. Unless yer plowin' leevitt bee, 'cuz you'll twist and break sumptin without using lottsa HEAT to unfreeze the frozen bolt. You could use a "shim" to reduce the play in the draft control spring.

Stay-chains are good to take the weight off'n yer hydraulics but they still allow you to "lift" yer implement (chains collapse). Adjustable length stay-chains connect directly from the toplink point under yer butt-buckett to the implement lower lift pins.

Recommend you gittchur 9N an $80 "Zane's Thang" to convert your draft hydraulics to position control. (guaranteed and you'll love it) So you don't haffta be diddlein' with the Hy-trol liftarm all the time..... ....Dell

tHE PROPERLY TURNED PLOW should allow the operator to let the tractor do the work. Actually the operator can git off the tractor and eat his lunch while the tractor keeps on plow'n.

Let the tractor invention do its thing.

Of course the field was about 2000 acres long, or so.

DOC -- If you have your stay-chains adjusted up to support the load in the position you are carrying it then the lift function is not involved and it won't leak down so it doesn't matter where the lift lever is or whether or not the pto is engaged. If you're not using stay chains to support the load being carried then you will have to leave the PTO engaged in order to drive the pump providing the hydraulic pressure which will support the load when the lever is in the up position. Use of support chains saves wear and tear on the system when transporting.
The big spring under your seat is part of the mechanism that enables your three point hitch to maintain your plow depth when you are plowing. It reacts to varying pressure on the plow and causes the lift arms to raise or lower to compensate. It isn't involved in just lifting or carrying a load on the three point. I don't know how loose yours is but in the tasks you describe doing you are not involving that function anyway. Just a little loose is acceptable.
