I think your right about the rod. I took the valve apart when I had the top off and the upper valve is sprung so it returns all the way out, there is no stop in the middle like the lower valve. It must be to modulate the draft/position control. I will find some clevis and make rod up and see what ha...

Thank you. Done and back together works well!!!

Hello, I have just taken the lift cylinder out of my super major. The bore is fairly smooth inside with some minor rust. I have new seal to install. Should the Cylinder be honed? I can't find any reference to it in my itt manual. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom

The front axle A frame is attached to this saddle there is two bolts on each side holding this saddle. Is the front axle a frame the stress point? If it is maybe I should weld a ...

Hello, I'm a new member and this is second posting with another question. I have been browsing and found several people mentioned the oil pan on the major being important to the structural integrity.
