3rd function add to Massey 4243

[1legwoodchopper]

Folks,
I havev a Massey 4243, 4x4, with 1038 loader. I'm trying to add a 3rd function to it. I'm trying to run a Danuser T3 post driver. I'm looking at a Summit kit to accomplish this.

The tractor has a NIMCO valve body mounted near the loader. I'm not terribly sure which line to plumb into it. I think its the return line. Going into port marked P2.

Regardless, I'd love some input on how to accomplish this in the most practical way. If there is a different kit then I'm all ears. Just need the guidance I know resides here. Thank you in advance!

Best,
Jason

the easiest way is to run hoses to the rear remotes

Does your Nimco loader valve have 6 or 7 lines connected to it?

6 lines. Supply, return, 4 to current loader function. There are, what appears, to be 4 open ports on the under side. Looks like plugs in them. So picture 2 rows of 4 with supply on one side and return on the other.

To have an additional hydraulic circuit/valve you need your loader valve to have a power beyond feature. Valves with 7 lines already have the power beyond feature.

Often it is a cheap option consisting of a plug or sleeve that goes in the body of the FEL valve.

I suggest you try and find a model number on your valve and then contact a NIMCO distributor to see if PB can be added.

If it can then the PB line would feed another valve supplying a rear remote.
