Old Ford - Open or Closed Center Hydraulics?

[hc99]

Posted this in the Hydrolics forum too -

Just got a TSC 3-pt log splitter for my Ford 4000 4-cyl diesel - the OLD 4000, I think its like the 800. (yep, I know its going to be slow after using a friend's 3 pt. splitter, but I don't split a lot and like not having another engine to maintain). The TSC splitter came with a kit for converting from open to closed center valve for a closed center hydraulic system. Anyone know what type the tractor has or how I can tell? Will the splitter work either way?

Thanks much,
Howard
