How do you hook the hydraulic lines on a schafer post driver hd8 to a john deere 5105?

I can't answer your question directly but it's actually spelled Shaver. You might be able to contact them for a manual.
Shaver post driver, hole digger, stump grinder, log splitter

Do you have a 3rd SCV to control a pair of hyd outlets on the rear? Or need to add them?

Or as sweettractors suggests, need to add power beyond lines.

Contact your Manual or Shaver to be sure. You will need to be sure the hydraulic valve is setup for JD tractors. We put the pressure line from the driver to a remote port on the tractor and the big dump line from the driver into your hydraulic fluid reservoir on the tractor. Refer to Mfgr to confirm.

I used a Shaver driver with my JD 870 which only has a loader control valve. I got a long hose made up at the auto parts house with an adapter to plug in to my loader hose lines. This is my pressure supply line for the driver. I think I chose the curl hose connector as it has no pressure when the loader is neutral. I got an adapter from the hardware store so I could plumb the return fluid into the fill plug on the transmission. I pull the loader control handle to the right and tie off with a bungie cord and go back to run the post driver. I did about 500 posts this way and it worked great. Better when the driver has fresh return springs in it. Sure a rear kit would be nice but that post driving has been the only need for rear hydraulics in 13 years. If I was running a hay fluffer/windrower I might want rear hydaulics but I am not a farmer.
