Hyd. Hoses for Thumb

[kabong57]

Plan on running a pair of 1/4" Hyd. hoses to the Thumb on a Woods BH75. Is there enough room to run them along side all the other hoses ? Do I need to pull all of them out and reinstall as a bundle? I mounted a Mechanical Foot controlled splitter valve on the Left side of the platform.

Can't comment on that, but very interested in how you plumbed the hydraulic circuit for the thumb on the BH75. I did the hyd thumb conversion but cut it into the curl cylinder circuit with a solenoid diverter valve. Willing to share your approach?

My hoe is a copy of the Woods 7500, and I don't have room inside my boom to run more hoses. I recently replaced a bkt cyl hose inside there for a second time. Tough job. I use the old hose to pull the new one thru.

That is one if the reasons I use a solenoid valve for my hyd thumb. same for my 4-in-1 bkt.

I am looking to do the hyd thumb thing next spring. I'll be watching this thread closely.
