[Ford-ferguson] Tapping into the 3 pt hydraulics

[John Gray]

Gordon,
Tractor Supply used to have a valve that mounted under the seat that should work for you.  I put one on my Ford 600. You might check with TS.

  I have Ford 800 series tractor.  It doesn't have a live PTO but does have
  the 3 pt hitch and associated hydraulics but no remote valves.  Is there a 
  reasonably simple way to tap into the 3 pt hitch hydraulics so I could install 
  a couple of control valves.  I would like to build a front blade arrangement 
  (okay a bulldozer attachment) for pushing snow.   No I am not going to push 
  dirt with it as I have an OC-3 for that.  The OC-3 is rather slow and it
  takes 20 minutes of track lubing before you can go out and push snow.

  The tractor used to have a loader on it which had a pump that was driven off 
  the front of the crankshaft. I could add a pump and tank, but if I could tap 
  into the existing hydraulic pump, it would make things simpler.

  Thanks
