CaterpillarGuy: So, are you saying that the factory Remote Control valve is double-action? I don't know that I would have figured that out, as I've been pushing both rods forward to lower the 3-point hitch, which would have cut power to the Remote valve before it had a chance to engage its down circuit. I'll have to try leaving the main valve engaged and push forward on the Remote valve to see if it does, indeed, power down.
I have, however, tried raising the deck with the main lever hooked on that little peg in the 'up' position and just pulling back on the remote lever, but it doesn't work, the deck _falls_ an increment every time I pull the remote lever out. I need to have the main AND remote levers pulled ALL the way out to raise the deck, which is a pain while I'm moving because I have to use both hands on the levers and steer with my knees. Is there some sort of adjustment for them, or do I have bad or worn valves?
Wardner: Thanks for the info about the Select-o-Lift. I don't think I'd need one, I was just curious how it could be done. The book didn't mention needing a separate valve, so I wondered.
More questions for you all: If one were to want to use the Remote valve for something, but the Remote is dependent on the main for pressure, how would one use the Remote for an implement without also engaging the implement hooked to the main? I'm thinking, a 3-point hitch on the main and a front-end loader on the remote. If I have to engage the main to power the remote, the 3-point would have to be raised to then use the loader.
Speaking of double-action valves, is there such a thing as an aftermarket position control system? I'd love to have that for mowing, to be able to keep the deck out of the dirt without using a limiting strap or piston clamps. The remote does keep the deck partway up (presuming that's what does it), but it loses pressure while I'm mowing, so I occasionally have to raise it again or the mower starts biting the ground. It'd be one less thing to have to worry about.
One last set of questions (for now): How many here have an auxiliary valving system for their Ms, such as the lever shown in Jim's diagram? Where do you mount the levers, and what sorts of things do you use them for?
