Hi Kaeson, I don't think it has a float although I haven't used my unit for a while and it's a 9W #44. I could be wrong : )
"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"
instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
we have a type 44 on the d4 and it floats when pushed fully forward
Do you guys know if they made the 44 with and without float? And is there any way to tell if a units got it without having the machine running… I’ve got another 5U that I have not got running yet but it’s got a 44 on it too so just wondering about that one without having to go through the hassle of switching them out to find out
Units 4W1 to 4W484 did not have float unless the field installation conversion valve was installed.
Thank you guys very much for the info … guess I’m out of luck I’ve got 4W-45 and 4W-477. I’m sure there’s no chance in finding the conversion parts either?
Conversion valve is a 5F5200 but not likely your going to find one.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
