[AT] 3000 lift control valve adjustment questions

[Cecil Bearden]

If you cannot find anything that looks bent or warped, then I would use 
the 2000 adjustments or find the specs for a 4000 and see if it is any 
closer.  I know this is not much help, but do we know for sure that this 
tractor has not had a top deck broken sometime and replaced from a 
salvage yard?  Is there a serial number   on the top deck??
