I connected a set of harrows (which are pretty heavy )to the 3 point hitch and the tractor would only lift them with the engine reved about 1/2 way, but It finally picked them up slowly.
My father in law happened to turn the draft/position control handle, several times while the weight of the harrows were hanging , and the disc finally fell when the position lever was all the way down. Before that, the only way to let them down was to disengage the pto, and let the weight pull the arms down. So a valve must have been stuck, but somewhat started working again.
Now the issue is that the tractor will only lift them with the engine reved up. Without the engine being reved, the arms will get tight, but not enough force to lift them.
I noticed that if i push down on the draft/position control handle while the engine is idling, the arms try to raise, no matter the position of the lift/lower position handle.
Also when i pull the lift/lower position handle it seems to be connected to the draft/position control handle.
If i just easily switch the draft/position control handle down toward position control, and do not hold pressure downward on the lever, the arms will do whatever the position lever is telling them to do.
As i pull up, to lift a attachment, the draft/position handle rises up about 1-2 inches, along with the lift/lower position handle.
I dont know if that is somewhat normal with super major, or if i have possibly found the problematic area, or do i have a huge mess on my hands.. lol
I am at a loss again, on this issue, and i hope i have explained it well enough.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
