    Three point hitch question

    Update: It did not work. I topped off my crank case oil, and filled the power lift valve cover housing till oil came out the plug that I think I was supposed to use for testing. All of that was SAE 30. Then I saw this big plug to the upper right of the PTO shaft and figured that was the...

    Three point hitch question

    Thanks, AlabamaFrog. I quit using the I & T book and now I'm just looking at your photo and my John Deere Parts Catalog. It doesn't tell me what to do, but it does show me all the parts and their names. Unfortunately, my power lift valve cover set up does not look like anything I find...

    Three point hitch question

    I’ve got a I & T Shop Service Shop Manual. It is not very comprehensive or easy to read. There is no reference to a level c*ck on the power lift housing or the power lift valve cover housing. Unless it's going by another name that is not apparent on it's face. The book has 9 ¼ to 11...

    Three point hitch question

    Three point hitch question

    Thank you all. That #2 looks like the thing I'm looking for. I need to make sure my power lift actually works. I've never tried it or the PTO or anything else for that matter. Again, thanks.

    Three point hitch question

    Sorry, but I'm an ignoramous when it comes these things. I don't know what a power trol is. It does have this horizontal bar under and behind the seat (it looks pretty big) that appears to be controlled by two round foot pedals. It also has a PTO.

    Three point hitch question

    I have a 1947 Model A John Deere that I use only for hay rides. I would like to fix it up with a three point hitch system so I can pull my box blade road working attachment. Can my tractor accomidate such a system? If so, what should I do? Thanks.
