[AT] Ford 8N (and a few others) 3 point booster

[Indiana Robinson]

I spotted this lift booster at the Portland IN show and have never seen one
quite like it. I have been wondering if it was a general purpose thing or
if if was made to be used with a specific 3 point manure loader?
Those 3 point rear loaders were fairly common in the 1940's and early
1950's. I used one as a kid until we got a front end loader about 1954. It
was not bad but did lack the ability to break packed manure free. We got
past that by using the Deere MC (and later the 40C) with the dozer blade to
push the manure out of the barn into a big loose pile them putting it into
the spreader with the rear loader.
Today I couldn't possibly mount enough mirrors on a tractor to be able to
see back to use a rear loader and I sure can't crank my neck around enough
to do it.  :-)
 This booster was plumbed from the fitting under the transmission direct to
the cylinders and there was no extra pump or controls involved.
