Power Beyond - JD 790

[jmerritt1]

Hi Jeff,

I got home and had a look at my tractor. UN-fortunately, I cannot see a thing with the cover in place under the seat (it's off in the photos you posted). Let me know how badly you need the info, it looks like I could pop that cover off pretty easily if you want.

I also found some extra parts that came with the PB kit but it's nothing you can't find locally.

And I have the parts catalogs for the 7 and 790. There is an exploded view of the PB kit but it's not very clear where each connection attaches. There are 3 solid lines shown but one must be for tractors without the DSCV control. Assuming you have the DSCV for your loader, it appears that both lines tie in there and not the rockshaft cover.

Rob,

It looks like jd110 has a copy of the instructions, so no need to pop the cover off of yours, but thanks for offering. I too have seen the exploded view from the parts catalog, and I agree it is not very clear in the picture as to where the lines connect. The best photos that I have seen are this one

and this one


you are correct, I do have a DSCV for my loader. If I can get the directions from jd110, then I will try and find a way to post the directions here for all to use.

I just picked up a complete kit from my local dealer with lots of dust on it. I was shocked when the parts guy said "Yep we have one in stock". Any who I will start the bidding at one million dollars If anyone needs the instructions let me know I will try to get them uploaded to Google tonight. Here are a few pictures of this rare gem.

Wow!!! you appear to have found the needle in the haystack! can you e-mail me the directions? Jeffreymerritt2003@yahoo.com

Much appreciated!

I believe the op said that he was going to post the directions.

To the op: You lucked out just like I did when I bought a mid pto kit for my 4410. I found it on Kijiji about 2 hours away. $250 cash for a $1500 kit was a deal I couldn't pass on. Glad you were able to find something.

Do you mind saying what you paid for it? I have a line on a BM18005 kit for just over $300. I'm wondering if I should get it even though I might never be able to find a #7 or a Woods BH70 for my 790.

 

[jbadkins7o]

225 I think

I'll start the bidding at $226, and I'll pay shipping charges.

I'd be all over a kit in the low $200 range. The $300 plus shipping is making me hedge.

 

[jbadkins7o]

I'll sell mine for 700 any takers lol

Hi All, I've been looking for a BM18005 kit for 790 tractor with no luck. Is that one for sale still out there? If so, I'm very interested.

Thanks to all who helped me out. I was able to build my own power beyond kit for my JD 790 from mostly stock parts. To help others who what to do the same, here are photos with the various parts I used to build the power beyond. I got the hoses from surplus Center, and the fittings from Discount Hydraulic Hose. The only tricky part was that I had to reuse one of the banjo fitting. To do so I had to have a hydro shop weld a 3/8" JIC on the original banjo fitting. Other than that, it was actually easy to install. I estimate it cost about $150. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the detailed, labeled pictures. That is very helpful, and applies to my JD 3005. If I can ever add T&T...


A follow up question, that may have been answered earlier in the thread... when your backhoe is removed, do the lines need to be coupled together for proper operation of the hydraulic system? It would seem they would, to replicate the flow the original line provides. G

Yes, absolutely. The flow from the pump cannot be blocked in an open center hydraulic system.

Nice job!

Nice job and nice pictures! A word of caution which is probably also in the JD instructions, make sure not to dead end the three point when your backhoe is attached. It will put back pressure to your backhoe valve which is likely not designed to take it. My JD 4400 with factory power beyond (or at least dealer installed) has a third line that dumps the backhoe return to tank. This bypasses the 3 point which mitigates the risk of inadvertently dead ending it while the backhoe is installed.

As a point of interest, would you explain what "dead end the three point" means ? Do you see where jmerrit1 could possibly do that with his build, and what needs to be done (or not done) to avoid the "dead end".
I think I understand what you are getting at, and the caution is good.. Just not sure if it is just a third line dumping back to the reservoir.
tks
