For appearance reasons I did not re-install the engine block tank heater. See first and second photos under topic "Before After"
Any one got an idea on something that may work for me.

Thanks for the thoughts. It helps me decide to fabricate a new line.

Re: Do you know what this is used for?
It is adjusted to push the lever back to neutral as the three point goes down. We used it manley with a tool bar cultivator when we didn't want the weight of the bar on the gangs. It also came in handy with the side mounted corn picker. Last time I used it was 1967.

If you have a line set up for aux hydro output just take fitting from end of hose and pump it out.

Re: Can someone tell me what this is
We had one growing up. It was used to power the bucket dump on the loader (super Six). The main Aux powered the lift. That is a interesting seat mount. Glenn

Re: Newbie about paint
Yes it did Dave. The history is in 61 dad bought a second major with it came a super six loader. When he left the farm in 68 the 61 was sold and loader moved to the 54 and he built the front hydraulics for it. It was used in town for snow removal for many years.
