B3030 Shims?

OK, here's what I have:
Shop manual shows the relief valve on right side of tractor just ahead of the lift arm. The section mentions implement control so I believe this is what I want to check. Recommended pressure is 2204 to 2306 psi.
In another part of the manual it mentions relief valve for 3 points (their wording) hitch. Relief valve pressure there is shown as 2175 to 2320 psi.
Which one am I looking to check for the loader? At any rate, my gauge showed an even 2500 psi where the loader lines connect. This has not been tampered with by me. It came from the dealer as is. Sounds like the whole shim thing is moot for me now.

Yup, just wait till you get the new QA and see if you notice a huge difference.

There's bound to be some difference, but like I said elsewhere the machine doesn't really get any heavy duty use. Some snow removal, occasional dirt and driveway stone work and picking up 350 lb. rolls of aluminum seamless gutter coil.
Seems a shame to have to cut the factory brackets off the bucket for the QA plate, but it is what it is.

It only made mine better............ but I suppose I did have closer to 300 hrs. on mine at the time.
