Ford 2000 Power Steering

[FtInn Farmer]

I have a 1965 -68, Ford 2000 diesel tractor with power steering. The tractor was brought to me with the steering disassembled. I am replacing the 'valve assembly' and can not find any directions in the I&T book regarding which power steering line goes to the valve port with the 'check valve' installed. I would think it would be the line from the power steering pump, but I am not sure. I would like some guidance.

More of the Ford guys might see this If you post it down below on the Ford Forum in the Manufacturers Section.

Click on the link below for a discription of how to reassemble that control valve.
The extra fitting mentioned there is the return port.

There are 8 plungers, 3 springs and 2 balls
in the control valve.
2 are special plungers with horns on the
end.
Clean the parts thoroughly and lube with a
light grease.

Set the valve on the column and load it
from the top.
Note the extra fitting the yellow pencil
points to. That goes toward the right side
at the top.
Note the green pencil. In that hole install
one special plunger horns up. Then 2 balls.
Then the other special plunger horns down.
The other holes get an ordinary plunger,
then a spring, then another...

It appears that it is a three cylinder, but you should specify that because it could be a four cylinder and it could be a row crop model which has a completely different steering system.
