Ford 2000 tractor draft control how to#

And probably if I'm doing that, there's a long list of other things to take care of.

What I expect I'll have to do is lift the top cover, clean filters and such, and reattach that lever somehow. I changed the neutral safety switch once, and that's the deepest I've dug into the tractor. I tend to be brave (or stupid) and willing to try things but my mechanical experience is very limited. Fortunately the tractor is 'stuck' in position control which what I need most of the time. It's still being held into the tractor somehow, but it flops around loose.

And here's the new one: The draft/position lever is no longer attached to anything.

The draft/position control selector lever almost hits a hydraulic fitting so it was especially annoying to constantly switch back and forth. At the end of each row I had to switch back to position control to turn around.

When in draft control mode, there's no way to raise the plow out of the ground.

I do suspect a change in hydraulic fluid would help the tractor is now under a roof but spent a couple years in a field under a tarp before I got the barn built.

Since I got the tractor a few years ago the 3-point lift has been getting slower and more hesitant especially when I first start the tractor.

Here's what's going on (there's other issues but these are the possibly-related ones):

I'm wondering (1) if I can fix this or if I should hire someone, and (2) how to fix it. However, last year I developed one additional problem which is going to be annoying this spring. It's got some problems, most of which have been ongoing.
