Second Rear Remote Kit for DK45s

ritcheyvs · Nov 15, 2014

My 2006 DK45s came with a single rear hydraulic remote. There was once a kit to install the second rear remote but the parts guy at MIE told me this kit is no longer available. Does anyone here know if this kit is still available somewhere? Thanks.

Get the kit part number and Google it. I find lots of parts that way.

When you find that part number can you post the results please. I have a DK40SE. Thanks

it is liable to be different Nick. The kit for the DK40se is still available as far as I know.

Have you considered using electric/hydraulic diverter valves to gain more remotes? Fasse makes some very nice stackable valves. You would control your cylinder by your original single rear OEM valve, and just flip and electrical switch to select the additional outlets you want. In my opinion cheaper, neater, and easier to install than the factory 2nd remote kit. Plus you can add up to 3 more if you want by stacking the electric/hydraulic valves. Look here.

Very cool. I just thought that if the second remote that is an option would be easier. That Fasse valve looks pretty easy also.

Thanks

Yep, actually the Fasse Valve would be quite a bit easier to install. I have looked at the manual for the 2nd remote install, and while it is well within the capability's of a mechanicaly minded individual, I think the Fasse valve would encompass a much larger set of "shade tree mechanics" than the original. Also as it is priced, you could come close to getting another valve for the price of the OEM unit. And due to its stackablbility you, you could have a total of 4 remotes while the OEM only allows for two. Also you could easily demount the Fasse valve stack from the back of your tractor and take it with you for the next tractor, and be left with the single OEM remote as it comes from the factory. There is no modification of the original remote. The new valve stack just "plugs in" to the original OEM remote.
Just something to consider.

Boy, I sounded like a Valve salesman with that last post.. Sorry I did not mean to come on so strong... Must be all this sales training I am getting lately in the Medicare Supplement field..:laughing:

How would you plumb that ?? you still need a controller.

Quite simple.. Lets say you have a single OEM remote and now want 4 remotes.

place 3 fasse valves together with the 3 valve "banking" kit which is nothing more than the proper bolts and nuts.

Now put (with proper adaptors O ring to NPT) on the far right hand outlets on the bank of valves, This will be your straight thru, no valves energized 4th remote. Place hoses from your OEM remotes into the left side of the bank. This is the feed, and will be controlled by the OEM valve already on your tractor. Now put AG or your choice of hydraulic couplers on the face of each valve in the stack/bank.

So you have 3 valves, and on each face is a coupler set. Control each valve by placing 12 volts on its coil. It will switch the hydraulic fluid path to the face of that valve. When no coils are energized, the far right hand outlets will receive the flow.

So you need the two hoses to go to the original outlets, and now you have 4 outlets controlled by a 12 volt switch with 3 connections. If you just have 2 valves you would have 3 outlets and a simple toggle switch with center off would work, otherwise you would need a 4 position rotary switch with no connection on the 4th position.
