I recently purchased a Ford 9n . It runs okay a little blowby left brake is froze. What is of concern is that when I engage the PTO the 3 point raises but will not lower. Has anyone encountered this situation?

Olskool ,
Don't worry about the left brake. You don't have enough feet to push the right brake, the clutch and the left brake at the same time anyway. grin...
Your DNS says you're from Virginia. I don't know how cold it gets there in the winter but frozen water will cause that.
Had a 2N here in MN that would start and run down to below zero temps. One day I pulled the lift up and it wouldn't go back down.
Fellows here advised me to thaw it out and change the gear oil.
They were right. A couple of quarts of froze up slushy water was the culpret. Drained it. Dropped the pump and cleaned all the crud out of the bottom and PTO hole.
Till I sold it that lift never failed me again.

Do you mean it wont lower at all or it takes weight on it to lower . This series tractor does not have hydraulic pressure to push the lift down and it relies on gravity to lower .

Had the same thing happen on my 1951 8N It's probably a sticky exhaust valve. Remove the inspection plate w/ the dipstick, reach in & push the control rod to the rear. If the lift drops, you found the problem.

This is a classic symptom of a dirty pump.

Have you ever cleaned out the pump sump & changed the fluid? Check out tips 3 & 4 below.

After you get the old fluid drained out (overnight is best) remove both inspection plates & start pulling the sludge in the pump base out by hand. Then, get a couple of gallons of kerosene or diesel fuel & pour it into the pump base. Catch it in a bucket & reuse it. (Some folks use a hand garden sprayer.) Flush the pump base out 5 or 6 times. Do not start the engine to run the kerosene through the pump; kerosene and diesel fuel do not have any lubrication properties & you will damage your pump.

Some folks will tell you that this 'quick-clean' is not as effective as dropping the pump & doing a full job. I do not dispute that, but it worked for me (so far) for the past 3 years on my 1951 N. If you have the time, drop the pump; if not, you are at least getting some of the crud out of it.
