Well I still have a ways to go collecting parts, but I acquired a valve assembly for the backhoe I intend to build. Ebay is more dangerous to surf than this board. It is a seven spool set-up, 2 joysticks, 2 single valves and it also has an electric 4 way valve. I am looking at building a smaller hoe, can't right off hand see the value of adding a thumb /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif so I am wondering if my plan to remove this electric valve from the stack makes sense to some of you, or if there is a good reason someone has to leave it there in the hoe. It is bigger than most of the other valves and adds size and weight, and is another spot to have issues. Thoughts are appreciated. I am thinking that if I remove it, I could add inlet and outlet sections and locate it up front near the loader valve then use an electric switch to add handy controls near the back since I haven't come up with a great way to plumb in rear outlets... But that's another thread sometime /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
