Jody, switching from green to blue, is that really a good thing?(!). As for your hydraulics, 2 cautions. First, make sure your 3 spool valve is not closed center, which is a good possibility if it was used on a JD prior. Although your functions will work normal if your valve is in fact closed center, you will overheat your oil and burn up your pump in no time. To tell if your valve is closed center, disconnect return line, and with engine running, 3 spool valve in neutral, and tractor remote engaged, you should have flow coming out of the return. If you do, your valve is open center, which is what you want. If you don't, your valve is closed center and you MUST convert over. Second, if you have a late model 5000, one with an external spin on hydraulic filter, the return line from your 3 spool valve needs to be returned to the cooler valve location to maintain transmission lube if your tractor has Dual Power. Let me know if you need more info on this. On the drawbar bracket, you can beef this up by welding straps to the hanger and bolting that to the axle housing next to the PTO shaft.
