Karl: Read my responce to Jim. My Farmall 300 is the only one I've actually added remote valves to, no touch control, but basically what I had was a two spool Gressen with power beyond, going on to power the 300 regular 3 valve system. Basically I had 5 double action remote valves, three of which being 300 factory valves and could be switched to single action.
When I installed that, I was told by an IH technician, the only way to protect my factory pump and system was using a valve with power beyond capabilities. Anything else would dead head the pump. It operated successfully for me close to 10 years, and I only removed it when I removed the loader perminantly. I used the Gressen valve for loader lift and bucket tilt. One factory valve went to fast hitch, leaving me two remotes for implement cylinders.
While I realize the tractors equipped with touch control are a bit different, one is still powering a factory system beyond the added remote valve. I agree with you, there has to be a right and a wrong way to do this. I also believe there have been a good many plumbed the wrong way, and actually used reasonably successful for years. Question here is, how do we measure reasonably successful. It might mean mucking around in oil monthly. You sound like you don't want that, neither do I.
