Getting tired of using the front (power beyond ports?) to hook the Backhoe up to, I decided to add rear remotes. The price for the kit wass about 263.00 (I bought the kit late lasst year). With nice weather yeaterday I decided it was a good project to get out of the way for the year.
It took about 3 hrs to complete. I know i didn't rush it since I had no injuries when done .
Pics attached:
Directions 3rd step - I scanned (what would fit) the "Install" part of the directions
Valve Closeup - Closeup of the control valve. (sorry, I forgot about the camera until this stage)
Valve Wideshot - The seat had to be removed, even though this photo shows it installed. The seat has to come off in order to loosen the cross brace under the fuel tank in order to insert the lines to the remotes. (sorry no photos of seat off or line routing under the seat area).
Tire on Dolly - I used a car dolly under the tire to make it easier to move around. For the safety police - there is a jack stand underthere .
Rear Remotes - After all is installed. Notice the lines to the left of the quick connects. Installing these lines were probably the worst part of the whole installation.
I will probably add a Hydraulic Top Link in the next month or so.
