Hi.
My Ford 5000's lifts stopped working while ploughing, and we Removed the Ram-plate to investigate. We found the Pin that connects the Top link to the Draft Control assembly had fallen out. We fished out the Pin and re-assembled the Tractor. When Just Started the Lift Works 100%, but as soon as I drive down to the Fields, when I drop the arms, it will not lift again. With trial and error, I figured out that, if I stop the engine and Leave the tractor for a few minutes and re-start the engine, the lift works again, but only once.
There is enough oil in the system, and I checked the o-rings.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
