I have been working on this project for a couple months on and off. I wanted to add auxiliary hydraulics to my FEL and change the manual QA SSL to hydraulic, cause I'm too lazy to get off the tractor to change it.
I ordered two stackable hydraulic diverter valves online. I mounted them on the loader post so when I remove the loader the valve stays on loader. To secure them I drilled and tapped holes and put nylon nuts to lock the bolts in place.
After removing the quick disconnects and setting them aside, I attached the curl hoses to the output ports that were live when no power was to the diverters. A local hydraulic shop made up two short hoses for me. These have the quick disconnects from the original curl lines on the end to facilitate loader removal.
Then while attaching the loader I realized that I could use more clearance past the muffler. A nearby shop very reasonably made me a pipe that facilitated me changing to a horizontal exhaust.
