Simple hold-open for hydraulic valve

[pmbutter]

I run a backhoe on my LS R4047, but didn't invest in a valve with detent. Instead, I build this little sliding hook, with a bolt, nut, washer and spring. Pretty simple. Does the job. Offered here for your amusement.

Pretty nice. You even color matched it!

Creative thinking. I will re think my own situation for a hydraulic motor on a sickle mower.

Just wondering if running through the control valve instead a PB is doing and damage like to spool valve or bypass. Don't know but I'd think the valve isn't designed for constant use. If not damaging anything real easy way to plumb a BH.

It wont hurt anything as long as it doesn't get latched on with a hydraulic cylinder on there (or with nothing connected) so that the fluid doesn't have anywhere to go and the pump is sending all of the flow over the pressure relief for more than a little bit.
