Ford 2N 9N Tractor Position Control

How to obtain position control on the old Ford/Ferguson tractors.

[@sparky6086]

Great explanation. Nice to have a step by step method instead of randomlt fiddling with it, as I have for years! I still use my 1940 9N for bush hogging & also keeping dirt roads in shape with my rollover box blade.

Thats good stuff. I sort of figured that out by accident one day, while running my scraper bucket, on my 2N. I live on the side of a gradual hill (4.25 acres), with uneven ground. Its a good trick to know when brush hogging. Keeps me from putting ruts in my grass. I used to dig the brush hog into the ground in certain spots. My wife would get mad at me for making ruts. But using this trick has eliminated the ruts and I get a nice even cut on the grass.

It good that you see the good in a old system know how to use to30 it is key I been doing it for years that way. I have 2008 masseyferguson it work ok but I use both systems so I don't have a problem but I like the old one best it simply to fix and cost so much less to maintain everything with the new one is so expensive to fix

If my blade is resting on the ground. Should the adjustable bar be pushing hard on draft spring or should it be set short so the blade hangs off draft controll

[@tommytowmater3403]

Try making a “zane thang” position control modification

[@hisexcellencytrump855]

How do you test the draft control to see if it works!?

Stay with the older one part so cheap it hard to go wrong I bought a new mf 1532 4x4 it been a money pit I got more in the new one then my 53 Ferguson everything I buy for it is like ten times more money for parts if you think it 10$ part it will be $100 at dealer there no lost cost parts for newer one

What is the coast of this tractor

[@johndowe7003]

about 1000-2400$

[@dandavis1023]

This explains the operation but does not explain how to adjust quadrant for settings.

[@GLOQ27]

Why is your tractor backfiring? Mine is doing the same thing all of a sudden and I want it fixed.

[@druminnut]

It's an occassional misfire. Mine has done it for as long as I can remember. Clean points and plugs will improve it as well as the overall condition / tune of the carb but any N series I've come across has done this to some degree.
