Ford 4000 single acting adjustment

[root]

On my tractor below the seat I have two levers I m using to control my loader. My loader has no down pressure. My valve says to screw the adjuster all the way out for single acting. Will this give it more pressure to the loader or should it just stay in?

It won't make any difference in the speed or power when raising the loader, but it will make a difference with the proper functioning when lowering it.

If the valve is set for dual acting and it is connected to a single action cylinder from one port through one line and the other port on the valve is plugged, then you are likely dead heading the pump when you are lowering the loader. Do you hear the pump get louder or whine when you lower the loader?

Not that I've noticed. From looking at pictures it looks like mine is already backed out. Thanks for the info.
