Position control frozen

[Phil Tibbetts]

I have a 135 diesel that the position control is frozen in place. The draft lever will raise and lower the lift arms. Is there any problem using it that way until I can fix the position?

I had the same problem with my 1965 MF135. I operated the 3 point via the draft control for almost 20 years before I pulled the lift cover and freed up the rusted shafts on the quadrant. To my knowledge, no harm was caused by operating this way. Make sure you have the shop manual as there are detailed set-up instructions about how to adjust the 3 point controls once the lift cover is off.
