I bought a E70 Caterpillar excavator. I'm in the planning stages of putting a hyd. thumb on it. But I'm having a long search for a valve. I need at least 17.2 gpm with 4,000 psi and 24 volts. I gather there are coils I can add to use a 12 volt valve and convert it to 24 volts. Any help locating a valve will be much appreciated.
I made my own diverter valve installaion on my tractor for my grapple and hyd. auger. Here is the link to it. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/229883-hydraulic-auger-mount-5.html at post #45. I'm planning on doing the hyd. thumb installation the same way. Just need a more robust valve. I also have a horn switch on the left stick I'll use for the diverter switch. Please let me know if you know of a valve that will work.
