I just got this 1950 8n and noticed that the position control lever is in the down position with a washer bent in such a fashion as to hold it permanently down. Why would someone do that? Does that mean there are some issues under the cover possible? I plan on using this tractor to brush hog with a 5-foot Woods M5-4. So I'm thinking it should be in the up position.... would it matter for this???

Hi pknotlost.
Welcome aboard!
Agree with HCooke.
With no info from PO, suggest pull the right side cover plate ( dipstick) grab a mirror and light, and see if the position control parts are present, and that there are no visable bug a boos.
Positon contol assy is circled
It may lift just fine, or it may have missing/ broken parts.
