Used the same port off of the valve body with a street L, plugged the lift cover, and routed the return to the filter cover. Loader works like a champ, remotes were a cinch to reseal. Thanks again for all the helpful replies.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. That makes perfect sense, as the filter and screen were thought to be starving the pump. I do have the ported cover, and what you've described should only take about thirty minutes.

Also, there's a steady drip from one of the remotes. I pulled the circlip, but the fitting won't slide out of the body. It's held by the lever underneath. I've assumed the lever is retained by a clip of some sort under the welsh plug on top. Should I go ahead and pop that thing out?

Screen is clean, and the pressure control valve has been removed, cleaned, and replaced. Called in the part number, and first on the list was a 401B or D, I can't hear well over the phone. Will now be checking the pressure adjustment on the pump, thanks for the tip. Pressure did strike me as...

I've been looking under the remotes, under the control valves, and all around the transmission. Part of the frame is covered in the front, so I don't know if something is hiding up there. I'll have another look today. Otherwise, as I follow the pressure line, I notice something bolted to the...

The yellow paint shouldn't be overlooked, thank you for the insight.

I was able to get it going with an adjustment. However, the draft lever acts more or less like a rate of drop valve, position is set with the position lever. Draft appears to be working.

I've been all over it, where would I find a number to ID the tractor itself?

Thank you for the list, it may come in handy in the future. How much chance do you think it was built after 1975? It appears to be a 70s tractor, but I'm not so well versed in Deere. The filter housing had a date from 91 cast in it, replaced perhaps?

Hiding behind this cheesy front end loader is a four cylinder, gas powered, six speed John Deere tractor. Would anyone have an idea what the model series is? Perhaps what vintage? I've repacked the bucket cylinders, all the lines have been replaced. Sometimes, the lift and dump work fine, but...

Forgot to add, the addition of a 12V internal resistor coil is a good idea, and drop the external resistor. Also, you can go to any auto parts store and ask for an alternator for a 76 Chevy truck with a 350. After you modify the bracket, you can swap the generator pulley to the And just...

This is very simple, I cut the generator bracket in half, turn one side, and make a clevis to take an internally regulated Delco. I'll weld it to a strap, punch new holes, and round the corners off of the top. You'll want to run a spacer behind the alternator where the bottom bolt passes through...

Hang an implement on it and raise the lever. Look through the cover on the side with a flashlight, specifically towards the cylinder, and up towards the front of the cover. Pull the cover opposite the PTO shifter, the oil has to be going somewhere. On this tractor, the filter can be pulled from...

Half of the linkage in the lift cover was frozen. I thought for certain once the follower was riding the cam on the rock shaft, it would neutralize at position. Well, it didn't. So I pulled the cover and went over everything, with exception to the primary draft control spring in the back. I'm...
