140 Lift

What in fact my 130 does, is implement will settle couple of inches then system will fetch it back up to the preset lever position, without touching lever. Sorry if I may have mis led you. Two separate problems, two separate solutions.

Another problem I had when friction pads were in poor condition, I would lower an implement to say for example 1/2 way on lever. When hydraulics completed that pre selected stroke, lever would continue to move on it's own all the way to bottom, thus hydraulic function would do the same.

Also those friction pads are spring loaded, and with rust built up the sleeve around lever shaft can pivot with lever rather than lever shaft pivoting within the sleeve. I remember when I fixed my tractors I bought enough springs and friction pads for both tractors. I still have two friction pads on hand. Cleaning and lubrication cured those two.

My Farmall 130 has actually been doing as your tractor is for the past 5 years. I have no external leaks. You hardly notice it when in field working, and on route I use the check chains. I also use those chains on 140 with system working perfect.

I started doing this when I built a 60 gallon boom sprayer. I had some concerns that hitch might not take the stress of 750 lbs of sprayer and liquid. I was using restricted chemicals at time and could not chance a spill. The chains worked so well I use them always now.
