Here are two valves I would recommend for you: Joystick Valve Two Handled Valve
So for $50 you can get the joystick if you want it. The main thing is to meet or exceed the GPM requirement for your machine...so a 10 GPM rated valve is a good fit. |
I got the valve and have selected a location for mounting. Now connecting to the Power Beyond...the Inlet to the valve from the Power Beyond is pretty obvious but I end up with two return lines so which one do I connect to the outlet or return on my joystick? Do I use the 3/8" male quick connect that was removed from the supply quick connect or the pipe plumbed 1/2" male quick connect into the rockshaft? Hopefully this makes sense to anyone that has seen a Power Beyond on a JD970. Do they use both 3/8" and 1/2" quick connects so it cant be connected wrong or does the return need to be 1/2"? Without going and looking I believe they are both 1/2" hoses.
I assume that like with the BH I would use the 1/2" male quick connect at the rocker shaft for the return and just leave the 3/8" male quick connect unconnected?
