Installation of WR Long 3rd Function Valve on XG3037H

[SFC]

Got my 3rd function valve kit from WR Long through Everything Attachments. Looks fairly straight forward and will start this tomorrow. The only thing that I think I will change is coming out of the Power Beyond to the 3rd function valve looks a little difficult. I think I will try to find a 90 degree elbow and put this in the power beyond port then connect the provided hose (with 90 degree bend in it) to the installed 90 degree elbow. Everything else appears to work like designed when I dry fit it on the tractor.

Got everything installed. Couple of things you might want to know. Check the length of the hoses from the 3rd function valve to the front on the tractor. Mine appear to be short and I've contacted EA about this. Hopefully will hear from them tomorrow. Also to make the connection from the T port on the valve to the connection below the seat you will have some problems. I tried to do this by just removing the seat but finally had to remove the rear tire to get a wrench on the hose to make the new connection. I used hook & loop (Velcro straps) to secure the hydraulic hoses. Can't upload photo's now so will try later.

what is the cost difference between buying from a LS dealer compared to where you purchased it ?
I want to add one on my 3025 .
Thanks Jake

That's quite similar to the way the Kubota dealer installed my WR Long valve. Except mine is on the inside of the FEL vertical member.

I purchased the kit through EA when I ordered my Wicked Grapple.
