Dave, I don`t think there`s such a thing as a dumb question,I figured thats what this forum is for,to help each other out ! The easiest way I can think of to tell if it has power steering or not would be, if with the tractor not moving ,turn the steering wheel a few rotations each direction. Do it first with tractor running and then do it with tractor off. If it has power steering, there should be a noticeable difference in ease of turning. You can also take a peek up under the dash and look if you can see 2 hydraulic tubes running up to a hydraulic motor right behind the steering wheel.Kinda tight up under there to see much, but if it has the motor it has power steering. As far as adding extra remotes is concerned, I`m not much of a hydraulic expert,but I found a 340 at a salvage yard that had 2 remotes and I added them to my tractor. Not a real big project,but you have to remove the dash to mount the Hydra Touch levers and such. That is the IH factory setup,though. You should be able to just plumb in a valve that would operate a loader, but like I said ,I`m no expert and others will have a better idea on that .
P.S. It sounds like the tractor at least has a 2pt. or 3pt. fast hitch on it if the guy says it has a "hydraulic lift". Mark

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
