How to attach hydraulic lines for backhoe?

ottawa1979 · Jun 20, 2014

I have a Ford 1910 tractor and a Townsunny backhoe that came with the property I recently purchased. I am wondering how do I hook it up to my internal hydraulic system. The previous owner has quick connects on the two hoses from the backhoe (with one smaller then the other) and the only other quick connects I see are for the loader. Do I disconnect the loader hoses and connect the backhoe hoses? If so, which 2 hoses do I disconnect? My logic tells me this is not the case since the quick connects are after the control regulator. Is there a suppose to be some sort of bypass switch or lever?

Thanks in advance!

Show us a picture of your FEL valve and if it has 7 hoses connected, or a PB port.

It would be quite handy if you could run a set of hoses to the back for attachments.

If there is no other option, you can unplug the curl hose, install some QD and plug in there for BH.

You will then have to bungee the lever to curl mode to supply constant flow to the BH.

Another option is for a PTO pump providing fast BH operation.

My intention is to pick up a pto pump in the near future but I am hoping to do some digging in the meantime. I hope this is the picture you are looking for, there are only 6 hoses. I am still learning all the tractor terms.

I see what looks like a unused port at top of valve which could be a PB outlet..

Look close and see if there is a PB stamped on the valve.

Do you have a manual and if so,what does it say about the valve.

Also, look inside that port and see if something like this would fit.

You could also use a diverter valve to send fluid to the bucket curl or BH.
