3 Spool FPS MV3 Midget Control Valve

[Josh0430]

Neighbor let me grab this from his garage. Said it wont work on his jd tractor. Anyone know if it will work on my ford 1900 with live hydraulics. I dont want to try and hook it up if it will mess up or damage anything. He said he was told it would dead head his system so not sure if it will do the same on mine.

Josh,
Is there a name plate or model code on that valve assembly. From the picture I cannot tell if there is an option for power beyond or not. Are there any unused plugged ports on the ends?

 

[Josh0430]

No name plate that i could find. Neighbor said there wasnt any info when he got it either. Ill take a couple more pics and load them of side views , and bottom. Closest i find is one that looks just like it online ill add the link here. 3 Spool FPS MV3 Midget Control Valve | Directional Control Valves | Hydraulic Valves | Hydraulics | www.surpluscenter.com

No relief valve nor PB ability, so it can indeed cause serious problems if plumbed wrong.

For that valve to work well and with not risk, it would have to be the very last valve on the circuit. But on these tractors, the 3PT valve is usually the last and the plumbing is all done internally, so it's not possible to make any change.

Would it help if i post pics of how my tractor is plumbed right now. If so i can go take pics

This may be a long shot but if you did not use this valve I would love to purchase it from you or your neighbor. Thanks Richard in Ct
