I have a 1996 John Deere 5500 4x4 with a quick detach front end loader. It has enough outlets to run the loader, and the fittings are under one of the steps to the operator's position. I would like to add some rear outlets for other attachments [such as a dumping wagon], and also be able to have a grapple on the front end loader, which I think will require an additional circuit to the front.
I would like to do this in the OEM, fully hydraulic way, rather than using some of these electric solenoid operated valves I have read about.
What all do I need to do this? Are these parts likely to be available used from anywhere? I ask that because I priced parts new once and they were about $800 to add a pair of outlets on the rear. What thoughts do you have on this modification?
Thank you.
