The idea behind traction control is to put more weight on the rear tires by lifting up on the Fast Hitch (and thus the attached implement) when the going gets tough (i.e., when more "pull" is needed to move the implement). The way this is supposed to work is via a force-balance feedback arrangement where the increased demand for pull is sensed mechanically, and the increased downward force is applied automatically via the hitch mechanics; the hydraulic cylinder is not involved in this automatic feedback except as a static element (it doesn't move, but does transmit force just as if it were a solid piece of steel). The hydraulic cylinder's role in this setup is to set the "average" depth of the inplement, and the current depth floats up and down with the amount of pull required - up for more pull, and back down when less is required. I used to do this sort of thing manually with the neighbor's old Ford - raise up on the 3-point when the tires started to spin when pulling a disk or plow, and then put it back down again when the ground got softer. An interesting, if somewhat mechanically complex idea. Hope my explanation is somewhat coherent and useful. Have seen this described in one of the IH service manuals, and you might get a better idea of how this is supposed to work (with pictures) from that source.

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
