Once I found the right point in the string, it was easy to do. I did get a couple books that I have been looking at. Getting more of an idea of whats going on, got a long ways to go yet!
These old trenchers have ton's of parts on them. Hyd. motors, valves, etc. Mine has most everything except the blade, digging boom, and the original hoe. The current hoe is the one that came off my 420 tractor. I tracked down the serial # from the original village that bought it new in 1956. The serial # on the hoe matches the invoice that they had a copy of. Kinda weird but that's the way stuff goes. I was told that the hoe was taken off so they could put a big platform on the back and stack weight on it for loader traction. The hoe wasn't heavy enough I guess. I never push the tractor that hard, mostly use it on dry ground. I use the skidloader for the hard stuff.

Sorry for the long post!
