Ford 950 3pt hitch problems

[Kando]

Hello TBN,

Question I have is this: On our tractor, a Ford 950, the 3 pt hitch arms don't move with a full range of motion. The arms are only affected when the lift/drop lever (for lack of a better term) is in the top third/fourth of it's traverse. Top lifts the arms (although I don't believe they lift fully), move the lever down 2 inches and they drop completely. Any lower and there's no feedback. This tractor is mainly used for hay, so the 3pt doesn't come into play but if this problem can be fixed I'd like to do so.

Thanks, all help appreciated!

It could be the mode the hydraulics are set in. There should be a small lever near the rock shaft behind the seat. 1 position is more for plowing, the other is more for work that requires holding a position. I can take a pic after I get home if needed.

I'll take a look at that shortly, pic would be appreciated, thanks!

OK, I'll get a picture once it quits raining long enough to get out there.
