Hi Guys, New to your forum. I have found it very usefull thus far. I have a question that will first need some introduction. I am a city boy and now absolutely nothing about tractors. Reciently bought some land, and figured i would need a small tractor to handl a brush cutter. After looking i found them very pricey. So I decided to buy a older one that was not a pretty picture. and maybe needed some work. Well I ran across a 1950 tea 20 close to where i live. I negotiated with the fella for about 2 weeks, and finaaly bought it for $500.00. It was the gentlemens fathers: His father bought another tractor. The father told the gentlemen when he was younger to parked it outside for the new one went in the garage. He said there it sat ever since, and for many years. He could not even remeber. I brought it home and began to learn about this thing. To make a long story short. who ever converted it to twelve volts shorted the points to the body of the distributor. I put on a new ignition switch, battery, coil, cleaned cap posts, rotor, and replaced plugs, and wires. reset gaps to specs, soaked cylinders, changed engine oil, trany/pto oil, replaced a trumpet gasket, PTO lever plate gasket, and side dip stick plate gasket, replaced 2 headlights. Bam she fired right up third crank.
only one problem i know absolutely nothing about the operation of the 3pt hitch. when i started it the PTO lever was engaged and the 3 pt hitch went up all the way. There is were it stays. I have no weight on it, and tried to move the lever on the oposite side of the pto lever and nothing happened. I took off the side cover and it looks as though the linkage is intact. when the lever is moved down it moves the inner slide type bearing in towards the trany, and when i move the lever up it moves the slide type bearing towards the pto. there seems to be action when lever is either down all the way and about half way up. No action is noticed on the slide bearing from mid point to full up position.
Is this normal function, and any help you can give me on 3 pt operation such as need of clutch, do you need weight on back to return lift arms to down position. any and all info will be helpful.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
