Three Point Hitch plumbing on an H

Initially I"d like to plumb it with vented plugs on one port of each of the two cylinders (actually, they"re already in place) to make them rams. I"ll work my way up to a two-way, down-pressure hitch if I need it. What I"m looking for now is a fairly detailed description of how someone has their Saginaw plumbed - how long the hose from one of the belly pump"s outlet is to the T. How long the hoses from the T to the cylinders are. What routes all the hoses take. Is their any shielding of the hose(s) as they run past the operator"s feet? How is the T mounted?

I know this is a _little_ unusual as most hitches are already somewhat plumbed but, over the years, I"ve heard other folks ask similar questions. Maybe if we pool some methods here, I can make up a diagram that could be stored in the archive.

Don't bother with a T. You've got two outlets on the belly pump of your H to connect to two cylinders. Use the single outlet on the one side, and the front from the other side. It's much less complicated this way.

Just run the hoses where they won't get in the way. There's no "wrong" way to do it, unless you just let them dangle underneath... Then you get what you get, which is ripped-off hoses the first time you drive through some brambles. Go up and over the axle housings. Use a little creativity.

If you do go for the over-the-platform route, don't worry. You won't need shielding or anything fancy. We've had hoses running over the top of the platform on the M since before I was born; they're the same hoses, and nobody's gotten hurt.
