Draft does not equal float. Draft = pull. Say your pulling a plow, it senses the pull on the 3 pth. If the plow digs in, instead of you getting stuck it will automatically raise the plow to where the load decreases and you can keep going.

Thanks for the clarification!!! This would mean I have "draft" on my 3pth but .......... I don't believe there is any "float" setting?? If there is I haven't found anything mentioned in the manual regarding "float". Oh well.

Anyway.... I did jump on last night and confirmed that with lever all the way forward (A) is float. I can put FEL bucket on ground in A and there is no lift. If I move lever to B I can pick tractor up. Thanks again for helping me resolve this.
(NOTE: This lever is associated with the rear remote only. It has nothing to do with the 3pth.)

NEXT.........
I pulled the FEL control valve off this AM. I'm going to try and spec out a new control valve and get it ordered. An attempt was made to rebuild it 1-2 years ago but a leak has persisted. Time to just replace it.
Tractor specs show hydraulic system at 9 gpm. I a valve with 8-10 gpm spec will work.
