Hi Mad,
Thanks for replying. Yes, the pressure line from the hydraulic pump goes directly to the valve that works the rear remotes. Then the "out" or power beyond goes to the "in" on the loader valve. I think I now know which line goes to the 3pt and which one goes to the sump tank. I understand now that it is OK to place the new valve in series anywhere between the other valves or at the end of the series. Your answer cleared that up for me. I also understand that the flow will be diverted so the first valve will have priority. I noticed that when tring to use the loader and the 3pt at the same time, the loader would respond but the 3pt did not until I let off the loader....just didn't know why.
With that in mind, I will probably add the grapple third function solenoid valve after the loader valve but not sure. Now that I understand what you have been trying to tell me (for about 2 months, Ha ha) it is easier than I thought. I have never used a bucket grapple and was wondering what inportance to place to be the primary mover? Using the grapple attachment, do you often reposition the bucket or loader arms? I can see having to do that maybe before taking the final "bite" with the grapple? So I think it might work better for me to have the grapple valve after the loader valve? Does that make sense?
One more question just to be sure about the Subplate #VALSUBPLATED03... If I understand correctly, the power beyond from the loader valve will plumb into the "P" port and then the "T" port (they are inline) will then go to where the loader valve power beyond used to be plumbed to. Is that correct? Next, I assume the perpendicular ports on the Subplate labeled "A" and "B" will go to the grapple cylinder. Is that also correct?
I still had the question about the wiring. Nelson was kind enough to email me installation instructions and it explains well. Only thing is where to enter the soleniod to connect the wires...I presume through one or both of the threaded holes that come plugged off with those nylon plugs and replace them with conduit or something. Is that right?
Sorry to be so **** about it. You have been very helpful. I will start a new thread that shows the Andy Tatro Grapple being installed and the valve installation. I think it might help others to overcome the fears that I had.
Thanks,
Rob-
