I looked at them, too, when I was looking at the various third-function alternatives. I found info somewhere that showed that the electric ones will open and close really slow. Vigo337 confirmed that with his top link installation. That may not be the case with this one, but see if you can find...

🙏 Thanks! It was fun learning how to use an antique tubing bender with SS tubing!

Yes, thanks. I knew that I'd need to run the PB from the new remote valve back to the same port where the PB from the third function valve goes now. My third function valve for my grapple: I went with the separate third function valve because I found a nice NOS one really cheap, and it was...

Update: I found a CNH assembly manual for several backhoes on tractors including the TC55DA. It shows this port with the hex plug on the side of the remote valve cover used for return to tank. It also says to run the pressure line to the power beyond port of the loader valve. In my case, I'll...

Hi K5Lwq, I thought the same thing until I saw that my cover plate has ports on it. I was hoping that someone may have found a way to use this cover plate directly. I searched at length for a 3-bolt adapter plate like what might have been used on a Woods backhoe kit, but no joy. I had already...

I've read through a lot of threads and seen that hydraulic power supply can come from either the power beyond port on the loader valve, or from a plate that is located inside the right rear fender, in front of...

Hello All, I've been reading through this forum, learning as much as I can about loader and aux hydraulic valves to learn the various issues with adding rear remotes to my NH DX55DA that has none. I ran across mentions of series vs. parallel spools for loader valves. (This is within...

Hey All, I just got a new-to-me 2004 New Holland T55DA SSS with a loader, but no rear remotes. My previous main tractor is an old Ford 540 industrial with four rear remotes. They control cylinders on both lift arms, another on the top link, and the fourth remote for hydraulic rippers on a big...

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and board, so please forgive me if my questions sound dumb... I am looking at a Massey Ferguson 1155 locally for what seems to be a good price, compared to ones I see on TractorHouse.com. The fellow who has it says that he bought it at an auction and drove it back...
