Lever on right side of 8n trans case

Norm Jones

I bought a 1948 8N and left it in VA for repairs prior to returning to my home in FL. There is a lever about 3" long on the right side of the trans case below the 3 pt hitch up/down lever. What's it for? I'm curious to know before I return to VA.

This small lever is the position control lever.

When it is straight up (vertical) the lift is in position control. The hydraulic lift quadrant lever will position the implement in relation to the quadrant lever position. When the small lever is down (horizontal) the lift is in draft control mode. Plowing is about the only time you use draft control. The lift will raise or lower the plow slightly to maintain a constant draft pressure which keeps the furrow at a uniform depth.
