[AT] Adding remote hydraulics on a MF 235

[Cecil Bearden]

I think Tractor supply still has the valve adapter mounted on the top 
deck of the hydraulic lift that you switch and then put the lift lever 
in the raise position.  This gives you hydraulic pressure and flow, and 
then you run it thru a control valve on the fender and then find a place 
to put it back in the sump.  If there is a drain or filler plug near the 
top, then you can dump it back there.
