Putting on rear hydraulics

[Rich Ginther]

I just bought a 1999 - 2000 NH 1920with loader, downsizing from an IH 656. It does not have rear hydraulics, yet. I bought a Summit Hydraulics kit, 4 spool. My theory was have more than you will use. I have a ditch flail mower, so I need two spools for that, I like the idea of a hydraulic top link.

Has anyone put a 4 spool on a 1920? Where did you mount it so it is out of the way and easily accessible? A photo would be helpful.

My thought is a 4" straight plate across the fenders and bolted at the ROPS mounts. Bolt the manifold right to the "new" cross bar so its higher and out of the way of the 3point. I know it is going to look patchy. So I'm looking for suggestions for a good solid mount and semi professional.

Thanks for suggestions.

My preference has always to the right side and a little to the rear of the drivers seat. Accessible while driving forward and still comfortable when turned half way around in the seat for technical work.
