Hooking up hydro for FEL..need help

kwolfe · Jan 28, 2007

I have an LA181 for my bx1500. I have hooked up the aux hydro block behind the left rear tire and have all the plumbing running up and under the tractor. The problem is that the hoses coming out of the control valve set-up are not labeled as to which is the Inlet, Outlet and Power Beyond. Therefore, I don't know which hoses to hook up to which. THe lines coming from the aux block are coloer coded, so I know which one is which. I removed the cover to the spools, and there is no labeling there either.

Does anyone have a picture of there setup that would help, or could someone give me a hand describing which spool goes to which line? I know trial by error, but I would rather not have to mess with it that much. THanks for the help.

You can go HERE and download the LA181 parts manual.

If I am not mistaken, the power beyond is the port on top of the valve right next to the work ports. The return to tank is on the same side as the PB only on the front of the valve. The pressure inlet is on the front of the valve on the opposite side as the PB.

Your LA181 owners manual should have this information.

Mad,
Thanks for the link. I don't mean to be a pain, however my work PC is blocking that website.

Would it be possible for you to download the pdf and attach it a reply?

I would really appreciate the help.

Does anyone else have a picture of a 4 position valve and how the hoses from it hook up to the lines that come out of the lower right hand side of the tractor? I just want to be sure.
