Adam: The manual will be useless to help you hook it up to your Ford 8000. Anything JD talks about in the manual concerning hydraulics would just apply to JD tractors not your Ford.
What they are talking about is a sump return port. The reason being JD hydraulic system has charge pump pressure on the return side when in the float position. This is just a coupler that returns the oil to the sump. The newer JD 7000s and 8000s have a port in the back of the transmission/rearend housing. On the 55 series and older you removed a plug on the side/back of the rock shaft housing and dumped the oil back in there.
I have zero idea what you are talking about using the draft control to turn the motor on and off.
The long and short of it is you really need the PTO driven hydraulic system.
