would it running in constant flow (one way?) work?
Yes running in a constant flow would be used for a backhoe,log splitter or Something with its own valve-Your constant flow would feed the larger 2 spool valve used as dual remotes

My backhoe project got me re-visiting this idea so I am going to move forward with adding more rear remotes (3). Got the valve at Surplus Center last weekend and hope to get a little bit done this weekend. Not sure where I am going to want to mount the valve. Any ideas?

Ok, I am done being PO'ed at TBN for the whole Markham ban thingy and thought it was about time to contribute something.

It took a little longer than expected but I am finally moving forward with the rear remote install on the 273. My plan is still to use the 3 spool valve pictured that will be powered off the original remote set. This hoses powering the new valve will be connected using quick couplers so when I need to use the backhoe I can connect the hoe to the original remote set which allows for the constant flow.

I already made a bracket for the valve that will be secured to the ROPS via 2 u-bolts. The ROPS has a curve right about where I thought the bracket should be so I decided to mount the bracket a bit higher in order to keep the bracket simple in design. It actually works out pretty good and does not block the signal lights on the fender. I made the bracket using 7" 1/4" flat stock using wheel grinding discs for my cuts. 2ft of the 7" stock cost $13 and as it turns out I only needed 1' 6". Tried bending the metal but without a decent torch had no luck. Ended up cutting through about halfway with the grinder, heating the slit then bending then welding the bend closed. Worked ok I guess. The ubolts were 4"W x 3"D and I had to cut nearly an inch out of the width and weld them back together (good stainless fumes!) as the ROPS width is 3 inches. Hopefully it holds.. I was glad (don't like filing square holes) that the new valve only had 2 screw mounting holes because I plan on using carriage bolts to get a flush mount.

Sorry I didn't think of pictures when I started cutting & welding. Here are few pictures and I will post more as I finish it in a couple of days.

I Do Need Some Help:
I am needing some help getting the correct fittings for the valve. According to the manual the two sizes I will need are:

A) 3/4-16 SAE In/Out Ports (Qty 2) - Will need to be 90 degree
B) 9/16-18 SAE Work Ports (Qty 6) - Will need to be 45 degree

A) In/Out hoses will connect into these fittings directly or may need adapter. It needs to be a 90 degree bend. I am not sure if the end going into the valve needs to be beveled but I know it needs an o-ring.

B) These 6 fittings will connect the Female Pioneer Couplers directly or may need an adapter. Here again not sure on the side that goes into the valve whether it needs to be beveled but know it needs an o-ring.

So here is a link to the manual.

Can anyone me find what fittings I need for A) & B) ?

Got all the fittings figured out with help from Ken at DiscountHydraulicHose.com. Saved $136 from the local shop. Sorry WayneCountyHose, I cannot support my local shop with those kind of price differences! If you were closer, I could..

Looks like it will be next week before I finish the install.

Self answered threads are always fun. Glad you got what you were looking for.

Finally got it finished. Had trouble with two NPT fittings leaking. Not sure if I overtightened or if something wasn't right from the start. Anyway here are some pictures.

Oh, I ended up picking up a new toy today that will use the remotes. Yes, Roady it does "sound like a lot of fun!"

Now TYM, if you are listening. Please send me a shiny new TYM sticker that will fit right on the front of the valve bracket I made. The one on the LT200 loader would fit perfectly. :)

Nice job. I'm surprised TYM doesn't offer some kind of remote kit for that tractor. Now post some pictures pulling that purtty pink boxblade you just bought.

They have the 1 set standard but they may offer additional sets however I never did ask the dealer.

Very nice job! Lots of stuff you can use with that. Is that a King Kutter tiller I see? How does it work for you? Thanks for posting the pictures. How much time would you say you have in the project? Whatever it is, looks like it will be worth it.

It must be the bad digital camera that made the BB look pink. NOT! The wife called it pink too so I might just have to do something about that after a few projects get completed.
