    about a dearborn loader

    I saw your offer in an old post. I have a Dearborn loader, 19-8, on a 1949 8N and would like to add cylinders on the bucket. I replaced the single acting lift cylinders and spool valve years ago with Northern Hydraulics double acting cylinders and a Prince two spool valve. I used a two spool...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    Loose or broken linkage was the first thing I checked. It was so easy to move the liftarms by hand that I though something had failed. Now that I freed up the intake control valve the lift arms work better than they ever have. I replaced the relief valve since it had a leak. The arms now hold...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    My manual is by the same publisher as the old one you reference but it is 103 pages. I looked at the PDF you sent and it looks just like mine except your version is a LOT clearer. Mine came with the tractor when I bought it 15 years ago. It is probably a copy of a copy of a copy etc. I'll check...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    That's sort of what I thought but it is nice to have it confirmed. I'll probably wait until the weather is better next spring and pull the pump. Don't want the tractor down in the winter when I need it for clearing snow and grading the driveway. Did the pictures you sent of the pump/valve come...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    As per the pictures and explanation from JMOR I drained the oil and checked out the intake control valve. It was not moving at all. I got up my nerve and really forced it and it popped into the pump. I think this is what Zane was saying yesterday and I wasn't clear about where to move it. I...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    That is really useful information. The rod does not move front to back any more than a 1/16" at the most. I guess the next thing to to drain the oil yet again so I can see what is happening at the pump. The pictures are great!! They are far better than the ones in my manual. I can actually see...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    I checked the control rod. It moves at the most 1/8" mostly up and down. It does have a slight front to back rocking motion. I tried to move it by hand and it does not move. At least not with my strength. I did switch from draft to position control and when "position" is selected the control...

    lift arms won't lift on 8N

    I hope this is not a repeat but I cannot find my previous post. The lift arms on my 8N have stopped working. I have looked at the fluid and there appears to be turbulence from under the oil like the pump is pumping. The selector shaft moves up and down when operating the sector control. I...
