I have a 58 IH utility 350 with a Cone mfg. hoe attachment. There is a valve that resembles a water spigot on the right side of the hydraulic control. It is marked simply "valve". Any idea what the function of this is? I believe it to change a function of one of the levers. I don"t have the machine running yet but would like to know what to expect. Also, any ideas on the best hyd. fluid to use? Thanks for any help.

I do not know that Hoe, but my advice is to trace down the valves passages and sleuth for your answer. It could be a variety of functions from putting down outriggers, to controlling the speed. Guessing on the hydraulic fluid is also a chance undertaking. If there is any in it, matching its viscosity with fresh high quality IH or JD spec fluid would be reasonable. JimN
Don't know how high up it is, but may have been plumbed in to drain the oil or pump it out. Or maybe had a place to attach a guage for a psi test which would require a valve. May have been a bleeder valve or something.
Is the valve marking on the valve or on the hyd. control and does it look like a factory marking?
Does this spigot have a male thread water hose connection on it? Try a water hose to see if it screws on. Is this one like on a house with a round or lever handle? Google plumbing or hose fixtures to find a pic of it if you can't take one. Might have had an original hyd. valve but it got broke off of something.
