2520 Power Beyond Plus

lincolnvt · Mar 14, 2008

Hey guys,
So, just completed my latest hydraulic project on the good ole JD 2520. I had already added two rear remotes for the T-N-T (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/jd-owning-operating/108168-2520-rear-remotes-added.html) but wanted to have full Power Beyond for a log splitter project. I ordered the power beyond sleeve from Surplus Supply for the valve and carried the hose behind the seat to the jump hose supplied with the original power beyond kit I had purchased from JD. Next I disconnected the return to tank line from the rear remote and added a tee fitting from discount hydraulics so that both the remote and power beyond circuit would feed to tank. A bit of a tight fit but it worked out in the end. Now, I can disconnect the quick connect in the back of the tractor and send full flow to another valve - in this case it will be mounted on a log splitter. I did put a zip tie on the rear remote QC b/c if it was uncoupled the pump would dead head....not good. If anybody as questions feel free to ask away.

Cheers,
Brad

Thanks Buddy! You are too quick I just emailed you the link. Not just money Kenny - it also takes people like you who are willing to help others out.

Take care, Brad

lincolnvt,
I noticed on your PB setup you had your return line running into a T that you said went to tank. On the 2520, how do or where do you run a line back to tank? It is my understanding that most guys are just running the two line to and from the block under the SCV so I am curious to know where you plumb in the tank line. I picked up a loader valve to make a setup similar to yours but need to know where to plumb back to the tank. I realize this is a very old thread but I am hoping you could help me out. Thanks!
