I need to know if I have this correct ?
I was goining to use and did buy a 12 volt acutator to raise and lower my new front mounted 48" ATV snowblade,but after realizing I'd not be tapping into my tractors on board hydraulics which is connected with factory steel tubing, I've since removed all of my tractors 3 pt. hitch, as I'll now be using my grey market tractor only in the winter months for snow removal ,another reason was I was having quite a bit of trouble with my PTO leaking fluid out the shaft when I used my finish mower for which I didn't need no more and have recently sold along with my rear graderblade, seemed as long as the PTO wasn't being used never leaked any fluid,anyhow to get to the point,I've decieded to tap into the tractors main on board hydraulics, and from what I've been told or read the only line that can be "Tee"d off is the return line to the tank,so can a rubber hose and two clamps be used to connect from the valve return outlet back to the tractors built in tank in the rear axle/trans,and run the high pressure into the valve then out again from the valve to then to the rear hydraulics as well,I bought a single lever valve that I'll taking back and buyin a double acting valve,then later on if I wanted, add a double acting ram for angling my snowblade, for now I'll just keep the angle part manual,double acting rams are more exspensive than single and can't afford it this year as I'm on old age pention,I need to know if I have setup correct before I start cutting into these lines and do I need to add any other parts than the control and single acting ram,I'll have to measure the lenght of the hoses that I'll need to be made up to reach the front single acting ram/cylinder, I gather they call these single acting cause there is only one inlet,where the double acting has two,one at each end,I really don't know too much about hydraulics but I think I'm slowly learning for an old fellow,anyhow let me know if I have things correct if not,then I'll need help to do it right>>>>>thanks in advance>>>>>Ampa :thumbsup:
