Quite awhile ago someone posted a drawing of a chain setup that would allow you to adjust the distance that the lift arms would drop on an N series Ford tractor. When not in use,or moving around, I want to keep my rear impliment off of the ground without relying or the hyd. lift which bleeds off. Can anyone post a picture of this setup???

Get the Zane Thang. I could never live without it on my 9N. Well worth it and very versatile.

Usually the only thing that I leave on my tractor after use is the rear blade. Everything else comes off.But the darn thing is sooo tempramental that sometimes I park it or shut it off in the wrong place and it WILL NOT start and I have to pull it out of my way until it does decide to start.I won't get rid of it cuz it's the only tractor I have ever had or wanted.

I have something that is a lot better than limiter chains for holding the lift arms at a given height.

It is a position control device called a ZANE THANG.

See the link below.

Hey Zane.. I know that "thang" is good.. but this fellow also wants something for when the tractor is 'not in use'.. etc. I'd guess chains will be a better idea than relying on his hyds to hold the lift arms up.. thouigh I'm not sure what implement he is wanting to store 'in the air' ?

You can get them off of eBay usually. Search for mower deck stabilizer or stabilizer chain. I ordered a set about 2 months ago from Zerco Manufacturing in Springfield, MO (this is where the ones on eBay are from anyway). The owner is Martin Zerr and the number is 417-866-2472. If I recall, they were around $16 plus shipping cost. You could make them if you're handy with a torch and welder, but for $16 bucks why bother.

Here's a not so good pic of a single chain and bracket. You would need 2 of these.

The brackets get pinned on with the toplink pin. The chain 'eyelet' goes on over the implement pin.. then you lift the lift to the desired height, and then drop the chains thru the slots in the bracket.. then you can relax the lift and the implement is held at that height.. though you could still lift it higher if needed.

many people set their mowing height this way.. and then it allows them to lift the mower to clear an obstacle.. then set it back down without looking back.. very effective for 9n/2n and ferguson owners with no position control.

I have a ho-made set on my NAA that I made with a few welding rods.. scrap 3/16 plate, and some surplus chain.. works fine on a 5' KK brush mower.
