After a few months of playing around, I think I'm nearly ready to hook up my first hydro project, but I'd like a sanity check just in case. The goal is to add two spools to the rear of the tractor and to use the Power Beyond port to power it. The valve I bought was oversized, I brought the PB ports from 3/4" down to 1/2" and the output form 1/2" to 1/4". Before I add Loctite 545 and tighten everything down, have I made any obvious mistakes? The extra hydro ports are to control the mower lift and a hydraulic toplink today (which is why the levers face opposite directions), who knows what I may add in the future.
Does this look like it should work or am I missing something big? I did check and it's an open center valve - when I blow into it without the QDs connected air goes through no problem.
