I recently bought a tractor.
Thanks to Majorman, he helped me identify it as a 1963 fordson new performance super major sold as a ford 5000.
The issue i am having is whenever i engage the pto with the handle in front of the clutch, the output shaft starts turning ( which is ok ) but the 3 point hitch lift arms, go all the way to the top. I cannot make them go down, or stay in a neutral position between up and down. I do not have anything attached to the 3 point hitch right now.
The only way the arms go down is by disengaging the pto and after a few minutes, they will go down, very slowly.
Engage the pto and they go straight back to the top.
It did this before i changed the fluids in the transmission and rear end. I used 15-40 in the motor, transmission and rear end and all the levels are where they should be.
There is a control handle to lift and lower the 3 point hitch, and a handle to the right, under my seat.
Should this handle be up or down ?
I dont have anyrhing plumbed off of the hydraulic block at all. .
Those 2 control handles are all that are there. I do not see any kind of flow control, or a push pull type knob or anything.
Which position should the handle be in ?
Up or down for 3 point hitch use only ?
And why will my lift arms go up, but not down when the pto is engaged ?

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
