JD 5103 rear scv kit

[Kfbeal]

Anyone added on of these? If so, is there a way to do this without purchasing the kit? The dealer quotes $520 for the kit. It is a 2005 model with the black belly. It has a 512 loader that has the block that ties into the hydraulics under the seat.

This rear scv kit would be another block that goes in the same place.

If you add this kit, I have been told that with the loader you can only have 1 set of remotes. Anyone have any different opinions?

Have you priced the Power Beyond kit, NOT the 3rd SCV kit? With it you can add any valve(s) you want.

This fella posted his receipt and the power beyond kit was $1746 not including hoses. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/113536-jd5105-series-owners-what-attachments.html

That's my fault since I wasn't sure what the power beyond was when you were talking in the other post. I'm not real familiar with John Deere or hydraulics.

My loader's joystick is mounted on the loader and has 2 ports under it that aren't being used. I'm not sure what they're for though, I was thinking that was power beyond.

The hoses from my loader go directly to a block that's under the seat which is where the rear scv kit would be placed.

I actually have this joystick: 2-function single-lever independent loader valve, hoses and power beyond kit for older model 5003 Series Tractors

which says: "2-function single-lever independent loader valve, hoses and power beyond kit"

Could that be used in conjunction with loader and scv's?

That price is way off base...as indicated in that thread. The PB option should be less than $300.00.

How many hoses connect to your loader valve? If the answer is seven, then you can add another valve for just the price of new hoses and the new valve.

 

[Kfbeal]

I think you are correct. I believe there are 7 hoses connected, 4 that go to the loader cylinders, and 3 that return to the hydraulic station below the seat.

There are 2 plugs that are beneath the joystick which I'm assuming you are referring to that I could use. I suppose one of those is a supply line and the other a return?

I may try to get some pic's for clarification if you could help. So I would just plumb out of there to a valve and then from there to the hydraulic connections to the rear?

 

[kennyd]

Pics would be great! Worth a thousand words right?

Not sure about the ports, they may be just alternate IN and OUT ports as some valves have two each so you can use whichever ports fit the hose layout better, so the other two are plugged.

The port we are interested in is the one marked PB. That is the hose that you would add the new valve to.

Take some pictures, note the labels on the ports, and pick out a valve you like (or tell me how many you want and I will suggest one) and we will get you started. And tell me what your budget is.

Also, search these terms for LOTS of info on this...

Hope that helps.

OK, this is good stuff...

There are two options:
1. Price the PB kit from JD, (that will be the cleanest install) and use it to feed the new valve.

2. Take the PB line off your FEL valve, run a the line from the FEL valve PB port to the IN port of the new valve, then the PB port of the new valve to wherever the hose you removed connected to, then the OUT of the new valve to the tank. (you can trace the existing line from the FEL valve and Tee into it.)

Still need these questions answered please:

and pick out a valve you like (or tell me how many you want and I will suggest one) and we will get you started. And tell me what your budget is.

I would think 2 valves would be plenty. I don't plan to grapple, but do have a 10' row disc I'd like to pull as well as my JD 260 disc mower for hay and rake that folds up with hydraulics.

2 should be plenty IMO.

Thanks for all your help Kenny, it's greatly appreciated.
