[Farmall] Cub Touch Control acting funny

[E. John Puckett]

First thing is I would check the fluid level and burp it to get any air 
out of the system.  The jumping when trying to raise it a little is 
normal and is worse if you have the earlier version TC control.  
Rebuilding it and repalcing original oil with HYtran will sometiems help 
it, but will not ususally completely stop it.  There is a cub discussion 
forum on ATIS.net at http://www.atis.net/cgi-bin/FarmallCub.pl and 
another one at www.farmallcub.com
