Ford 2000 Draft control spring. The spring should just turn with the finger and thumb of one hand. If it is tight turn the yoke in a counter clockwise direction, too loose, in a clockwise direction.
Use the template below:
Ford 3000, 4000. With the spring housing removed from the tractor, noe the distance between the top face of the housing and the front spring seat. Protrution should be 0.000” to 0.010”. This distance is adjusted by shims on the front spring seat.
Reassemble the housing onto the lift and screw the yoke in until all free play is eliminated.
