<DIV>I have heard of such things but never seen one quite like that. The
early 3-point hitches didn’t really have much lifting force. So I think
the boosters were general purpose to deal with that limitation. They just
tapped into the high pressure line that goes to the built-in lift
cylinder. If you tapped in that way and also put stay bars on the hitch,
you could use the 3-point control valve for a one-way remote cylinder.</DIV>

<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>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. :-)<BR></DIV>
<DIV>This booster was plumbed from the fitting under the transmission direct to
the cylinders and there was no extra pump or controls involved.</DIV>
