The truth is....not many Americans understand the Ferguson Hydraulic system! No offence meant! (but some of the replies here prove my point!) Your lift needs set, from the information you give here.... Hang your plough on the lift and check the top link spring. It should just be able to be turned by hand. If not, then it needs shortened by screwing the end yoke inwards against the spring. Next, set the hydraulic control lever stopper about 2 1/2 inches from the top of the quadrant and slacken the 4 bolts that hold the quadrant to the lift cover. These mounting holes are slotted. With the engine running, gently tap the quadrant back or forwards until the plough sits in neutral and tighten the bolts. This setting is so sensitive that even tightening the bolts can make a difference. When you have the bolts tightened, if you move the lever downwards slightly (over the stop) the plough should drop, but pulling it back to the stop should once again hold it in neutral, likewise moving the lever upwards should raise the plough and moving back to the stop should hold the plough in neutral again. This should make a big difference to your ploughing depth. Remember different soils will have different settings on the quadrant. Heavy ground will require the stopper to be set higher than light ground. This draft system was designed to give MORE traction the deeper you plough....but everything has a happy medium! Sam

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
