WR Long & valve ground

jcotta · Jul 23, 2007

I am almost finished installing valve for Wr Long Grapple. I am installing on JD Loader 460 and have attached per Long's instructions. I need to ground the valve. I plan on running ground wire from earth terminal below terminal A to common ground on the side of engine block. I was not sure how to connect into fuse panel , so I ran the red power wire to a terminal that I put on the positive side of battery. The whole project has been pretty straight forward . The hydraulics are hooked up and seem to work properly on the rest on the tractor. The hardest part of the project was taking off and putting back on the loaded rear tire. I kept the backhoe on and used the stabilizers for the re-install of the tire. I know this is an easy question, but I don't want to mess up now.

Thanks

JOHN

When I install my new Long's Valve I used a double in-line fuse holder then went to my existing fuse block.

I grounded mine to the valve mounting bracket. I ran the positive straight to the battery.

Grizz , I ordered fuse attachment for panel. I like the idea of being on a circuit that can be switched off by ignition key. Wicked thanks for help on grounding. I will post pictures when complete.
