Hello,
I'm now a tractor guy. My first tractor is a Ford 2N ('45 SN 9N181263). Previous owner was an 82 year old retired mechanic and the tractor starts every time and purrs like a kitten. It had been in his family since the 60s. It came with a 4' bush hog. I've purchased a 5' blade, boom lift, and a 5' box blade. Planning to do some tornado storm cleanup on my three acres and my sisters' 6 or so acres.

My tractor will hold an implement at a height but won't lift anything. It will go up, after it warms up, when nothing attached. It seems to have stronger lift in reverse, because it sometimes will lift the straight blade or boom when going in reverse. Plan to do some basic checks that I've seen on various sites. The fluid level seems ok. Not sure of the fluid type. Haven't checked the pressure relief valve, yet. Recall reading somewhere about cleaning a filter in the tranny, but can't find the article now.
