Row crop power steering

[showcrop]

I had the whole system off from my 961 due to a leak from the control valve. When I got it apart I found unanticipated deterioration due to a side load of the control valve stud. If I had not caught it it might have soon been too bad to repair. When I reinstalled it yesterday I found that I was able to almost completely remove the side pull on the post by adjusting the connecting rod at the front, so that it is carrying the side load.

Almost every one I see has the ball stud at right angle. Did you move it to bottom side?

No the stud is now nearly straight up. I took up a little on the adjustment at the back end of the drag ling as well.
