Farmall Super A tractor hydraulics

Greetings from the (cold) U.P. of Mich.

Earlier today, "Salmoneye" responded to a plea for help I placed on the "Farm Tractor Discussion Board" on the 10th. He provided a link here and said: "ask these guys. They will steer you right". So here goes.

Back in '66 I bought a used Super A w/Henderson loader that operates using a Charlyn PTO pump/control valve. It sees regular use as lawn mower, wood cutter, snow plow, dirt hauler, and all around back saver. As I "mature" it's getting harder to keep switching from loader to mower and back. I have seen a couple of "letter" Farmalls in the area that use the tractor hydraulics to operate the loader. It may not be as fast, but it is live hydraulic power and gets the PTO pump out of the way. There is a (for lack of better word/description) adapter block about one inch thick that is drilled and pipe tapped and that fits between the casting on the end of tractor hydraulic lines and the "touch control" housing so one can run hoses up to an aux. control valve.
Bates Corp. says they have one for $75.00. That's a little steep for me...or maybe I'm out of touch with reality. Anyway, before having them send it,I thought I might ask around to see what other owners of "collector" tractors might have to offer in the way of advice or other source of supply. Any help will certainly be appreciated.

Tom
