169 - Adding hydraulics to a manual lift tractor...
 

I'm wondering what is necessary to add hydraulics to a manual lift 169? Someone recently posted a scan of a IH memo that shipped with the original 169 kits. It says to NOT use the kit with any other tractor as the 169 "shipped with an extra large pump..." (So I wonder if the components are different then the lifts on the other 1x9s) I want to upgrade the tractor to hydraulic lift, but want it to be "correct" in that the proper parts be used. If the parts are all the same as the 1x9 tractors, great!

I do know there it something about changing out springs in the pump also...

Thanks for any help,

IH Cub Cadet used three (3) different Sundstrand Hydro Units.

* Non Ported
* Ported
* Ported for the 982 (Different output gear)

Thus, any tractor equipped with a Sundstrand Ported Hydro Unit with Implement Lift, will interchange.
