Finally got a set of rear remotes added to my MF1643. Only regret is that I didn't get them installed from the start.

Good move-what are you planning on doing with them?

If I'm seeing correctly....... please replce those cast iron plumbing Tees with the proper hydraulic fittings. They are not made to withstand hydraulic pressure.

Aside from that...... nice install.

The install was completed by the dealership, so I'm going to trust that he knows what he's doing. I know my Timberwolf log splitter uses cast iron plumbing also.

Right, but only on the return line to the tank. Not knocking your dealer, but pipe fittings are generally rated for 150 psi, and your tractor's hydraulic pump probably puts out 2500 psi.

I like that the lines are split so both rears and third function on the loader are available without having to plug, or unplug extra lines. Handy. :thumbsup:

I appreciate the comment. I'll certainly be checking with him. I don't want a blow out!!!!!
