Land Pride third function install question/comment for standard Lseries

[Scook222]

I started the installation on my third function today. I got ready to hook up the lines and realized that if they maxed a 9/16 orb to 1/2 JIC to put in the tank port of the block, you would only need one short hose to install the third function and you could reuse the pb hose to the tank. Everything would also mate up If you installed the factory rear remotes.
I went online and found this on Messick痴. It would work great because the third function would be first in line then loader then rear remotes/ backhoe except when you remove the power in off the loader to hook to the tank on third function, both hoses would need to be straight instead of a straight one and one that has a 90 degree bend on one side.

Maybe I知 making this more complicated, but it would seem to be easier either way and a true plug and play system no matter which way the tractor was configured.

I went to a local hydraulic shop and the fitting I needed was a male -6 orb to -8 jic male fitting, the -6 goes into the d03 sub plate, I am not sure why land pride called it a 9/16 morb fitting. In doing so, I use the same hose that came off the power beyond port on the T port of the third function kit and the hose extra from the land pride kit. Everything will now fit to a factory rear remote kit or a backhoe if the tractor came with one. I hope this makes the install more convenient for the next person that wants to do it their self. I will post pictures when I get it installed.
