Well, RickB was right on another point... I would like to apologize to my fictitious mechanic since just a few minutes ago, at my local Case dealer, I discovered that Case did indeed switch all controls sometime between 1991 and 1995. They changed to a mirror-image control valve, swapped the lines, and crossed the rods. The most recent parts manual has the new stuff shown, but the most recent service manual makes no mention of the fact. I had saved some money by buying an older (new) parts manual figuring that any discrepencies would show up in the service manual. Bad move... The question is, why ? Why did Case see fit to change a design which had been around forever ? If it was just to swap the hand controls they could have just offered crossed rods. They went through several different valves but they're all basically the same. I really don't see what they gained. I was concerned while changing things 'back' that everything looked too well done. The rods showed no signs of having been butchered, just a neat little dent in the crook of each bend. The metal lines seemed more at home where they were, than where I wanted to put them. But the real kicker, that I noticed this morning and sent me scurrying to the Case dealer, was that the relief valves for the bucket cylinders were not on the same spool as in my manuals (and there's no way to move them). So now I get to change everything back... I sure am getting to know this machine ! Still haven't used it, but I guess in this forum that may not be serious issue :-) Paul

The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's).
