HELP...MF135UK hyd.lift reassembly

Hello. Approx 5 years ago I had the engine fail in my MF135UK and it needed to be rebuilt. I decided at the time in addition to the engine that I would completely disassemble the tractor and rebuild & repaint it. I managed to rebuild the engine and was in the process of beginning to reassemble the tractor when a number of successive unforseen circumstances happened in my families life causing me to put the tractor rebuild on hold until now. The last thing I was working on before the delay was the hydraulic lift cylinder replacement. I had also planned on cleaning the housing so I disassmbled all the interior parts. Unfortunately because of the long delay I have managed to forget how everything goes back together. I have two manuals however the pictures & illustrations are very dark and small and I can't make out enough detail to jog my memory. At this time I'm quite discouraged. If I can manage to reassemble this hydraulic lift I'm quite confident I'll be able to reassemble the rest of the tractor,..I just need to get over this hump of the lift reassembly. I would be extremely appreciative if members could post some pictures or illustrations giving me the detail I need to begin reassembly. Please refer to the attached pictures to see the predictament I'm currently in. Items of special concern to me are the position & draft control cams, their orientaion to each other and the lever/linkage connections. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Best regards:

Hello Brian,
You have quite a jigsaw there. Do you have a genuine Massey Ferguson workshop manual for the tractor? The genuine manual will give clear photos to the way that the items are installed. When you refit the cam linkages remember that there is a small spring fitted to the POSITION CONTROL arm. It is also essential to understand the way that the quadrant levers actuate the vertical lever. That is the one which makes contact with the pump lever via the removable roller.
One of your problems will be the adjustment of the linkages unless you have access to the special tools required. Do you know anyone who has these tools.....your nearest MF dealer perhaps? If you are not familiar with the components I would certainly suggest that you consider boxing everything up and taking it to them for reassembly. Yes, it will cost but when weighed against the hit and miss of assembling it yourself it might not seem such a bad option.
We are here to help you but we can only guide you.
