john deere 1050 joystick installation help!!!!

[TimberHole]

Does that tractor have the hydraulic pump on the front of the engine? I put a joystick on my 2240. The loader was a factory install. What John deere did was tap into the high pressure line from the pump to the lift box. With a T. and piped the return into the filter fitting. I bought a prince joystick with 8gpm flow plus the plug needed to make the valve closed center for the JD hydraulics. My joystick only has 6 hoses. One for power, one for return, and 4 work ports.
My loader is a 148. It works really well with one caveat. The loader and the lift can't be used simultaneously. It's just one or the other at a time. I can carry 2 hay bales with it.

Tractor data shows the 1050 as an open center system.

Power beyond is on the middle left side the in port is on top and the out port is on the bottom right side. When ever I lift the 3 point hitch the power beyond line gets very hard and lifts the 3 point hitch about 2-4 inches that’s it.

I don’t know what model the cross control valve is the guy just said it was a Cross and I confirmed it this evening with the part store. I’m going to try and get a actual number from them in the morning. And sorry it took so long to reply I didn’t know how to post a picture.

The pump in on the front passenger side of the tractor.

Kris....

After looking at your photos, my first though is for you to do an experiment.

It looks like a main steel hydraulic line was cut in two and two hoses connected from the two metal cut ends to the FEL valve block by hoses.

See if this looks like what happened.

The experiment is to re connect the two metal ends together to see if the 3 pt hitch works properly.

You could have a short piece of hose made up to connect the two metal ends or, unscrew the two hoses from the FEL valve block and connect their end together using a simple hydraulic pipe thread fitting.

Don't use a plumbing pipe fitting, galvanized or black iron, as those items are not designed for the internal pressure of a hydraulic system.

I think by returning your tractor to the way it was before the FEL install will narrow down your problem.

In the third photo, there is a gold colored valve marked: MODULAR CONTROLS MC-1444-GT

What is it for?

Is it like a hydraulic block on other makes of tractors to allow you to add hydraulic circuits. It does not look like a JD part.

Does the rear remote (one circuit of pressure and return ports) have its own control lever?

Thanks for any info

i would call the rear 2 circuits. One for loader and one for bucket.
