Re: JD 970 Power Beyond Plumbing...want to add valve for flail mower side slide cylin Quote:

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? | After further looking I dont see why I can't just use the 3/8" male quick connect (removed from the PB 3/8" FM quick connect) for the return and just use the 1/2" male quick connect for the Backhoe return, it appears that they both end up in the same place. Am I wrong or correct?
