HOWDY ya all.

I have a ford 8600 with dual rear HYD. My question is

to add on : a 3 valve remote for my front end loader and keep my 2 rear HYD

is all I have to do is add a tee on to each HYD outlet on one side?

And from these two tees run a line in and return out of the valve assy?

Making sure that I can lock open the one side I have chosen for my feed?

I would suppose Galvanized 1/2" Pipe would be acceptable as the hoses have 1/2" MPT.

Any ideas on how to anchor this home made manifold ?

See I think I have it Im just not versed in all the language.

All suggestions and re:cool:commendations read and thank you in advance.

Do not use Galvanized pipe for anything with hyd pressure . All open center hyd valves have to be in series. The first valve after the pump will have priority, and you normally do not tee into a hyd line. You can do just about anything you want as long as you understand the hyd flow path.
