I have a Bolens HT23 that I am going to try to retrofit with power steering parts from a John Deere 420. It consists of a steering column attached to an orbital valve. The valve has ports labeled "in" "out" "left" "right" and "aux". My question is can I just cap the "aux" port? I wouldn't want to ruin my pump but I dont think I need the "aux" port. John Deere has it going to the deck lift cylinder I think (not sure though). Or maybe I should use it to add another power beyond port???? I have included a picture of the parts I bought.

Thanks for all your help guys.
