Adding rear remotes to 1620

[Whitbread]

Thank you for posting this! I have a 1996 1620 with a loader and front mount snow blower. I've been wanting to run a hydraulic log splitter and like you i I have been looking for a reasonable way to get a remote to the back of my tractor. This is awesome!

Glad to help you out! There's lots of info out there on the subject, but very little specifics. Just make sure to order a spool valve with a detent so you can engage it and hop off the tractor to feed the splitter valve.

nice work !:thumbsup: Love to see people fixing up older equipment . Rustoleum New Holland blue is a perfect match touch up paint for your tractor if you ever try to match anything. I sanded and painted scratches on my loader arms and cylinders and you can't tell old from new. Mine is a 99 TC 29d. How much did the rear hydros cost looking to do same thing tnt.:cool2::drink:

I find a bungee strap between the handle of the valve and the foot plate makes a pretty awesome decent on my TC21D. Runs the log splitter just fine.

She's old and ugly, but just turned 310 hours! Came from a city in New York where all it did was blow snow in winter and sit all summer. I was hoping to sandblast and paint it this past summer, but that didn't happen . Maybe this coming summer I'll have some free time and make it pretty again.

I think I have about $500 in the 3 spool valve, lines/fittings, and 2 cylinders. If you're not good with a welder, your side link cylinder will be a good bit more expensive though.

Wow what great info you posted, I just picked up a 1920 ford (that had a rough life in South Florida Rain) that I’m restoring and I wanted to install rear remotes for my box blade, but now I love your set up even better. I have found your 3 spool valve, and cylinders, by any chance do you have the lengths and sizes of the hoses and how many? I have to do it a little different because mine came with a SMC 84Q loader and the spool valve up front is different than yours. your help will be Appreciate. Please keep posting your updates on your 1920, your post are very detailed and Awesome.......:thumbsup:
