Practical to add Hyd. to JD 850?

[CoHay]

A friend would like to add a joystick to his 850 to run a blade. Cheaper to trade the tractor? Used stuff available?

There was a post here from nunyabinis regarding obsolete parts for JD650-1050's that sounded very promising:

Best of luck.

It is possible, some parts from JD will be needed though if they have them. The valve can be sourced elsewhere. Expect it to be in the $500 price range NOT including the blade setup.
