adrian wrote on Thursday, February 05, 2004 (PST):is there a way of adjusting the top link for plowing? how does one know if the top link is operating properly? do you set the quadrant lever to the very down position for plowing? this may sound elementary,sorry! thanks
John (UK) wrote on Sunday, September 05, 2004 (PDT):When the implement strikes an object the hydraulic pressure is released and the wheels spin because there is no weight transfer NOT because the tractor is supported by the implement, it would need a double acting ram to do that and there just isn't one.

Chris Jensen wrote on Saturday, November 17, 2007 (PST):It is my understanding that the skirt of the hydraulic piston touches the control forks when the hydraulic system is at maximum lift--This touching of the control forks by the piston results in a movement of the control valve to a neutral positon--John from UK provided this information for me--I haven't seen this information written in research I've been doing on the ferguson hydraulic system

ron89 wrote on Sunday, September 14, 2008 (PDT):The Ferg draft system was perfected by specific engineers in the Ford Motor Company in 1939. The later TE 20 system is identical to the 9n system. While the draft concept was Harrys, only the genius minds at Ford could make it a reality. The suction control pump built by Ford was, and is, a nearly perfect mechanism when kept in good condition. Henry Ford and his staff were not fond of making Patents, so their work was not fully recognized. Some of these same engineers are alive and well in 2008.
Charlie wrote on Monday, April 06, 2009 (PDT):the article is great info, but could someone explain how the control valve works in the block? maybe a cutaway pic?
charles hall wrote on Monday, August 10, 2009 (PDT):I have a 1954 to-30. Can the lift arms be set at a desired position and have them stay there when using a rear single wheel brush hog? Any reply appreciated. My arms seem to only be all up or all down.
