JD 2320 3rd scv or build my own

[kernal]

I am thinking about adding hydraulic rotation and deflection to my snow blower for this winter. JD has the 3rd scv kit available now, but since I want to add both I need 2 sets of ports. I know I can add an electric diverter to do both, but then I got to thinking maybe I could just fab up my own using a 2 spool valve. Not sure which valve I need, I would be tapping into the power beyond, so I think I need open center, like this one. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=9-7862&catname=hydraulic

sure whould be nice to add TNT for box blading etc in the summer.

Thanks in advance to KennyD and everyone else for the incoming how-to

After reading thru a couple other threads in the section, I beleive I have my answer, I can add that valve in series, etc.

The only question I have left is since I use my backhoe can I plumb the vavle in series, behind the existing JD power beyond and not affect the backhoe performance when it is connected. Or should I setup the valve to use the same QD's as the backhoe so that I can only connect the vavle when I am using it??

Either way will work.

Yes, you can add the valve in series...
