MF165 Using Hydraulic Remotes and Lift

AllWaysBreakinSomething · May 15, 2010

I'm going to start this question by saying that I have a cheap single lever remote on my MF165 and want to change it. Now I've seen a cross hydraulic valve on my Dad's MF165 but is has an adapter mounted to the tranny between the standard 3 level valve. Anyone know the part number or where to get one of these? This is the only configuration I've seen that you can use the 3pt lift and multiple hydraulic remotes. If you need a picture I can oblige. My Dad's tractor has three levers. On on the left is double acting and will stay forward as to supply continuous flow to the lift. Put in the center it will not let the fluid drain when using one of the other two levers which control the two remotes. I've called Cross and they don't have any information on the tractor. They just want to sell the standard remote hydraulic valve. If I can get the transition adapter this is a no brainer. Help Big Dean or SoundGuy or anyone else they has the info.

It will be greatly appreciated.

Cross is a brand name and they make really good ones. I need an adapter that makes the transition from the standard mount under the MF165 seat to the standard remote valves on the market. I can take a picture if this helps and posted later today.

I am thinking that particular setup may a MF dealer item only. Anyone know of aftermarket kits for these? I could use a couple myself? Ken Sweet

I checked them out and they have a nice line of parts. I did not see complete hydraulic kits, only valves. Most of our customers want the whole kits. I will have my Son check into a dealership. We already have A&I and Tisco, so the parts may overlap too much. Thanks, Ken Sweet
