No control at all.. or it won't go up at all.
typical position control problems involve the cam, and cam pin.

Hi had the same problem, stucked in draft control. I found out that a little plate at the end of the position control rod was at an angle (So it was sitting over the little pin, the ones who saw it may understand what I mean, if not I'm sorry 
.) Just turning it at the right angle fixed the problem. I have to say that the selector lever was almost moving freely, now I can feel the resistance of the spring.
So it's working good now, what an improvement. We use the tractor mostly with a logging winch and a bush-hog, sometimes with a blade or a scoop.
It seems strong but not at the point to lift the front wheels off the ground. Skidding a full length 20-inches maple, I hear a hissing sound in the back and it gets slow to lift, but the relief valve doesn't seem to become that warm. May-I had broke a O Ring on the pressure pipe when I put the cover back on?

use a piece of 2x4 and a bottle jack.. prop her up under a lift arm on the top cover and jack up a bit.. let gravity work for you.

I know this is a really old thread but maybe soundguy can let me know. I have a '71 ford 2000 gas 6 speed. to get the hyd. suction filter out, do I need to split the tractor ?? The I&T manual does nothing to explain how to remove filters from tractor.

Well I got it out without splitting the tractor. Just bent the mounting tab out a bit, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, swear, swear, drink, drink, ahhhh it came out. Also needed to pull out the PTO shaft and remove the shift collar and fork.

not a fun job...
I guess I am a day late and dollar short answering this...
As you have already figured out, you don't need to split the tractor. For me, the worst part was pulling the lift cover - by myself... Glad you got it done.
