I cannot raise my 3pt lift with my Touch Control lever. I have to push the Position/Draft lever all the way down and hold it to lift. The touch control lever will let the lift down but won't pick it up. The only way to raise the lift is with the small Position/Draft lever. What problem might I have, what should I check or adjust. I'm new to tractors and need advice.

I have used Zane's jig to repair two 8N lifts and have been very pleased with the results. Do as Sound suggested and also get Zane's jig.

8N FORD TRACTOR LIFT ADJUSTING JIG AND BOOKLET FOR ADJUSTMENT

This is something that has been needed for years. It is not an original idea for me. I used to be a mechanic and parts man in a small dealership in Talladega AL. and used such a jig to adjust the 8N lifts. The jig that was supplied to every Ford dealership was cast aluminum and I suppose that most or all of them have been lost or broken over the years because nobody can lay hands on one. I just made up my mind to resurrect the knowledge and so the booklet that I have compiled and the jig I have fabricated by actually repairing and adjusting an 8N lift and fitting the jig so it can be done in a more practical way.
I am going to charge a total of $65.00for the pamphlet with illustrations and text instructions for adjusting the lift along with the jig and a new cam follower pin. This price includes the shipping in the USA. If sold outside the US the shipping is more and I will state it for the destination. Usually about $10.00 more to other countries, but more in some.

Adjustment alone will not fix a system that has excessive internal hydraulic oil leakage. If the lift will not hold a load for more than a couple of minutes you should repair the lift while the cover is off for adjustment. Such things as replacing the pressure relief valve and the piston rings on the ram cylinder piston etc.

Total is 65.00

I'm guessing you have really worn or bent linkage, including the cam pin.

Time to pull the top cover and set it on your bench for a looksee.
