adding extra valves

[jpm]

i've finally added extra hyd valves so that i don't have to keep changing hoses
on my rear remotes and easy use of front attachments. in pics 1 & 2 are of the loader valve

in pics 3 & 4 are the mounting brackets

5 &6 are the bracket and plate with the valve

pic 7 is the valve on the tractor, some of the hoses still have to be changed to make a neater install.

 

[jpm]

pics 8,9,10 are the rest of the install to the front of the loader

That'll work out pretty neat. Just have to remember which handle does what! Do you think you saved a considerable amount vs. using an ele/hyd. switch? If you mounted the new valve "backwards" would that have kept the operators platform a little cleaner looking?

tbluser the operator's area will clean up better after i change the rest of the
hoses to the right size & fittings.by "backwards" do you mean with the valve
facing forward or on the fender?

With the valve qd's facing the front of the tractor.

JPM… interesting setup. I too have a 4110 with same joystick and have a need to install extra hydraulic valves to accommodate my quick-attach front mounted hydraulic angle snowplow. The plumbed snowplow operates off the rear auxiliary hydraulics. Also, I have and wish to keep mounted, the 509 backhoe, which is great for ballast. I need to maneuver the backhoe and snowplow concurrently when backing into and parking in the garage. Being one valve port short, I manually switch the quick disconnect lines to operate each implement.

Being a novice at hydraulics, I have questions. How many auxiliary ports have you increased by? Is your setup diverter valves?

I only need an additional one and was thinking more in the way of a tee or a 3 port diverter valve (I don’t know what a diverter valve is).

Tlbuser, can you elaborate on the use of an electric hydraulic switch? Would this accomplish my needs?

bill b , I added 3 spools 1 for the front ,1 for tnt ,1 for the heck of it.you can add 1 thru ? valves this way just as long as you have a power beyond valve which continues the flow to your rear remotes. Diverter valves i've seen on this site are usally only 1 spool and you have electric connections to deal with,though it seems most people here have no problems with it.One thing to look for is a light weight valve,you only need 15 gal.flow,i think mine is a little less
