Ferguson TO-20 position control

[booger1945]

I have recently aquired a TO-20 and have seen postings about a DIY retrofit to enable position control on the 3-point system. I have not been able to find that again. Does anyone have drawings of this system? Thank you, Booger 1945

You check the archives for the ZaneThang. Im not sure but the plans may still be there.

I had both a 9N and 2N Ford, TO30 Ferguson without that. NAA Ford with and
never found a use for it, Same with the 3 cylinder 4000 Fords. The only time
ever used it was on moldboard plow on Ford 5000 as hydrolics did not work as
I would have liked.

booger1945,
I have a pdf file that Jeff Miller wrote outlining the plans and instructions for a DIY position control. Unfortunately, I can't attach it to a message in this forum and would need an email address to send it to you. Up to you, if you attach your email address to your profile, I'll gladly send it along.

Here you go. IMO I would suggest you find the sweet spot on your control lever where it will use the draft control to hold up the implement

It’s called the zane thang. There use to be specs to make it in the archives. You may find it on an internet search

The 'Fergy Positioner '
is an Australian designed and made device , very neat , hardly visible when fitted and easy to install.

I've used one for over a decade on my UK built TED20 , seriously they should be compulsory on these tractors .

I’m with you on the position control, the thoughts behind the three point hitch was depth control for plowing furrows. Patented by Mr. Ferguson himself.
