How to remove Power Beyond Fitting

[kennyd]

Does the kit you are installing have the proper fittings to tie into what is there? Banjos aren't that common. Just don't want you to take it apart thinking your local hydraulic shop can make up a hose that will work.

Most of the time, a SAE/ORB fitting or adapter can be used in place of the banjo.

The kit has different fittings that replace the banjo fitting on both ends of the removed hydraulic line. The new 3rd function valve goes inbetween the power beyond value and where it returns to rear remotes. It is the L.R. Long kit.

Perfect! My concerns are nullified and I learned something!

I assume you mean W.R. Long... is it the Electric over Hydraulic Valve Kit on this web page? W.R. Long Valve Kits

Yes, my mistake. It is W.R. Long.

Thanks for the help all. INstalled and working nicely. Just need to better constrain the hydraulic lines at the front of the loader. Planning on some kind of bracket to attach to loader.

I'm installing a 3rd function on a LS 4046. I have to remove the power beyond value, and then attach this to the grapple valve kit. Here is a picture of the fitting to be removed. It looks like it has a nut on both the top and the bottom of the off coming hydraulic hose. How do I remove the nuts and the hose? Just turn the bottom nut? Or hold the inside nut, and turn the outside nut. Don't want to mess it up. Thanks RIch

Oh boy.

1) the PB fitting supplies P (Pump or think of it as hydraulic power or hydraulic pressure).

2) You need to tap into the P line in series (meaning inline) with your valve.

3) The photo you provided shows a simple banjo fitting.

4) Do you know where the other end of that line goes? (likely the three point and then to T tank).

5) If 4, then figure out where your valve will be mounted, yank off the entire line, and bring the line and your valve into your local hydraulic jobber and have two custom-made lines fabbed up.

6) Install those lines with your valve onto the P from the valve you showed the photo and T going to wherever the other end of the line went.

7) You now need to plumb lines A snd B off of your new hydro valve.

I promise this is easy once you get the hang of it.

It looks like he got it done ok.

OP I like that grapple.
