Then to control the lift, which was just power up and gravity down, he put the valve on the pump inlet. There is more detail in some of the books on the design of the Ford N-series tractors that had the Ferguson System in them. I'm giving you what I remember from reading them. AND you should also know I have the CRS thing. :-) Regards, Larry
