I have one of these on my "M" and it's quite an obstruction. I'd like to remove it and replace it with a regular operator's control rod and bracket. I must admit that I don't know squat about hydralics, so I have a few questions.
First, what was the purpose of changing over to a selective lever control. Was it due to using certain kinds of implements, or equipment? If so, what kind of implements or equipment? Or was it just a simple kind of upgrade from OEM. Just curious.
Second, I don't intend to use the tractor for any kind of farm work. It is mostly going to be for show and parade. But, I would still like to have a belly pump that's in good working order, and know that I can depend on it if ever there is a need for it. Right now the dip stick shows dry for the reseviour, so I'm assuming the belly pump is not working. Is it OK to run the belly pump dry without hurting or damaging anything?
TIA Patrick
