Good Job! Where in TX? I got my NEW Saganaw last week in San

Got some good advice. Also called IH dealer in Poteet who
advised to get one spool float even though hitch can float. Float
is a fourth position so you still have up & down and just get
more flexability. A float will have a detent.
I am making a bracket similar to Road Warriors, which looks
good, and am just wresling with simplicity of design vs what is
going to be least in my way of swinging my (old) leg over the
seat and feel like it's in the right place when in use.
Valve issue probably driven by budget. Northern has a Prince
valve: 2 spool, one float, adjustable relief, and load checks for
$154 , I found a Cross (local dealer) and a Gresen
(www.surpluscenter.com) for about $215 (better valves). I also
found a single used cross for $30 and comes with a homade
bracket that I would probably modify anyway that would work
just fine. You can tell by my rambling how anxious I am - Good
Luck.
