This post is in regards to Nebraska Kirk's post dated December 11, 2007 "Good News and Bad News": I have questions for Nebraska Kirk about his PS installation, but if anyone else out there has knowledge and can answer my questions, feel free to respond also.
NE. Kirk, I am preparing to do a similar installation on my SMTA and noticed that you show in one of your photos a brace or support mounted from the Behlen unit to the M's steering post. Is that brace a Behlen product?...or did you buy it elswhere?...or did you build it yourself/have it made? If it is not a Behlen porduct, could you give me the measurements on it so I could try to fabricate one myself? BTW, why does the brace have a slot on the Behlen unit end instead of just a hole? Is that so it can be adjusted?..or is it for ease of installation/removal? Also, my hydraulic pump is located the same as yours, in front of the distributor, but I think mine is an original IH pump, which means I will need to install a "flow divider/proportioning valve" according to the comments made on your post, right? Knowing very little, if anything about hydraulics, and after looking at the Northern Tool flow divider valves, I see that the valve with 1/2" NPT ports is adjustable from 0 to 16 GPM and the valve with 3/4" NPT ports is acdjustable from 0 to 30 GPM. Nothing is said about the PSI rating being adjustable. Does that change automatically when the GPM is changed? (See, I told ya I know little or nothing about hydraulics!)
I am not trying to restore the tractor, just resurrecting it to make it presentable and usable. The SMTA is now stripped down and being painted and as soon as I can get it back home and in my shop, the PS unit will be one of the first projects I will tackle. Along with the live hydraulics and PS, it also has independent PTO, 3 pt hitch, 12V alternator with electronic ignition and a Farmhand F-11 loader.
Thanks in advance for your response and any others who would like to help me with good advice. Looking forward to hearing from y'all!

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
