JD 1050

[D Nickerson]

Hi all, I don't get on much. but anyway we have a problem with
the 3 point hitch. It's a JD 1050 diesel 4wd. The problem is when you raise the lever(for the 3 point) it keeps laboring when
it gets all the way up, so I have to put the lever down until
it stops laboring. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 1985 by the way.

You need to adjust turnbuckle(parts key 27) to stop hyd pump laboring in raised position. IIRC one needs to lengthen linkage.

There is a maximum height stop knob (parts key 1) on your tractor. Be sure that the knob is screwed in so that the control lever hits that stop. If the stop is backed out it can cause the problem you are having.

A quote from the operator's manual:
"Always keep knob turned all the way in to serve as a maximum height stop. With knob backed out and lever pulled farther back, oil would be continuously forced past a relief valve, causing excessive heat."

I don't know why it was built with a moveable stop when the manual says to "ALWAYS" keep the knob turned in.

Jim I don't know if that will work. but
i'll try. It happened pretty much overnight.
It wasn't a gradual thing. I have a feeling that
it might have been my fault. We have a disc that
is 3 point and I put wheel weights on it to the point
that the front would lift up, then I put the
suitcase weights on it(600lbs). Worked good
for quite awile. Thanks for the info, very much
appreciated.

I forgot to mention that it is not that. we never used it
and raised it all the way up without a problem. And also
forgot to say that when I'm mowing (woods RM 90), I can't
feather it like I used to(up and down due to bumps and ditches).
It's real jerky and doesn't go smooth. That happened at the same time as the problem I have.

Can't. It says my pm is disabled. I also can't even
do my profile to say where I am and what I do.

Check that the load sensing lever is in the correct position. If the draft control lever is set to the draft position it will make positioning the hitch erratic when using an implement like a mower.
