[Farmall] Exhaust lift question

[Jim Becker]

The hose goes from the control valve to the cylinder.  With cultivators 
mounted it crosses under the fuel tank.  It looks like a garden hose of the 
same era and had a female coupler on each end.  If installed and operated 
properly, temperature wouldn't be a problem but the exhaust content is.  The 
originals were not common hose for that reason.  I have not looked for hase 
replacements as I have so far always been able to scrounge an original.  The 
hose (and hose washers!) need to be neoprene or better material.

The Sept. - Oct. 2003 issue of Red Power has my full article on it.
