Finally got a chance to install @tedward4's kit on my 1620. Pretty easy install. Minor fabrication for the hose support bracket. Also the actuation lever needs to be pretty much exactly the same angle as the one shipped with the valve, but 1.5" shifted to the right. I just banged the one that came with the kit into the right shape and drilled holes in the right spot. Hose fittings are angled slightly inward as they point rearward for maximum clearance. This kit should fit without problems 1520, 1620, 1720 tractors. Also possibly 1320 tractors.

Here's a quick look at the rear valve I added to my 1710. New Holland parts shows that the remote kit for this model is no longer available so I had to come up with a custom solution. I see a few places sell an adapter plate to tap into the three point lift hydraulics, but it's only an in/out port adapter. I really wanted a mounted valve to eliminate some hoses. The first picture on the left shows the stock port cover and the second shows the new valve setup. The valve setup is made up of two adapters and a Prince SVW sectional valve. I recently purchased a CNC machining center, so I was able to machine the adapters myself.

Are you still making / selling these? I’d be interested in one
