Which Diverter/Selector Valve will work?

[Gomer]

I an planning to add a thumb on B2630 FEL and would like to add a diverter or selector valve to the FEL control so I can switch between rolling the bucket and pinching the thumb. I found these two valves and I know very little about hydraulics but I think only the one (1782)will work. Advise? comments?

Your first choice looks to be the best. KennyV.

Or is this too technical and I should limit my questions to whether a horn is a safety device or not.

Your first choice looks the best. There, now you have another reply and I have another post.

You posted this same question in the hydraulic forum correct?

They look like they both would allow you to use the rolling circuit to control the thumb. The difference is the 1782 uses a momentary push button to switch control while the 5117 uses a single pole, double throw switch. I think I'd like the push button better. "Push the button, move the thumb-let go of the button and roll the bucket". Otherwise you'd have to flip the SPDT switch back and forth.

Either will work, first one would be my choice.

Maybe those 113 are others looking for answers as well. Or, maybe they already answered your other post...
