Hinomoto N239 operating info

[classicfx]

Just purchased a used one of these privately in here in the UK.

I'm finding my way around things slowly (first tractor) but think I have a fault with the three point linkage. Problem is the the right hand linkage has an extra ram to adjust the arm independently which is fully up. This seems to be controlled by a double switch bank located on top of the right wheel arch, one switch controls the linkage up and down (works fine) the other switch seems to operate the ram up/down. In one position you can feel the ram operate up but in the other position nothing happens, ie the ram doesn't go down.

Am I doing something wrong? There's an array of switches and knobs by your right hand forearm but as everything's in Japanese it's difficult to understand operation.

Apologies if I'm being a muppet, but as said first tractor and a massive learning curve......

It is a draft contol. The 2nd from the bottom knob on the bank will adjust it somewhat but it will always move according to the terrain. I moved mine to the top link and removed the sensor.

Hi !

I also have a Hinomoto N239, and facing following problem. 3 point does not stay in position, it slowly keeps lifting all the way up. The only way to move it down is with engine off. Any idea what could cause this ?

I bought my first tractor, N239, at an auction (UK), probably made in the 80s. The problem is that the three-point hitch is not working. I checked the hydraulic pressures, the internal wiring of the proportional valve control unit, the limit switches and the wiring of the valves and they seem to be fine. I can't get anything clear from the texts on the control switches in the cab, so I suspect I don't know how to use it. I would be very grateful for any hitch/tractor manuals or other tips on what might be wrong. Thank you.
