![]() Update: I have removed the top with lift arms and have it upside down on my bench. If you do this part correctly, you might luck out and not have to open up your lift cover. He explains very well how to assemble the spring onto the assembly and then how to install the assembly back into the lift cover. Look at the link above but go to page 4 and specifically post #33 that Hutch provides. ![]() Regarding your current situation, since all you have had apart is the draft spring assy, what I would suggest is go back over how you replaced the draft spring. This should make a huge difference for my situation when I go back into my tractor. I found a drawing of the special tool and will fabricate one. While I did have my arm in the up position when making my adjustment, what I did not do is have special tool MF 272 which is essentially a spacer block that keeps the ram arm from bottoming out on the lift arm cover (my bad). With Draft Control Lever all the way UP - the Position Control Lever will then Raise and Lower the brush hog with ease.ĭid not mean to hi-jack your post but was about to submit a new post myself and it seems we both are looking for the same info.Ī bit more searching on the web and I believe I found the answer to my question regarding what position the lift arms needs to be in when making draft and position adjustments: They should be UP as in the implement is raised all the way up. I believe my issue still centers around the "draft" as I can remove the top-link between the brush hog and draft spring connector and put a chain from the brush hog top pin to the tractor housing just below the draft spring (basically taking the draft spring assy out of the picture). What was not clear to me when going through the 3-pound weight settings was "what position are the lift arms supposed to be in when making the adjustments?" That said, I am still having troubles - so will be removing the lift cover to go through the process again. I got a section from the tech manual on how to set the Position Control using a 3-pound weight on both Draft and Position Linkage. It either covers or has reference to pretty good procedures on how to set up the Draft Spring Assy and Draft Control Linkage.
