well maybe great big pop cans. not much of a picture taker. the valve was pretty easy to install, but hooking up the wiring took much longer to do.
should have taken pix as i was doing the install but as usual i forgot.
the problem i have now is how to keep the hoses from dragging on the grd. between the grapple & the tractor, need some kind of bkt. * plate to connect the hose fittings to & a way to hold up the hoses, any ideas. ??
the hoses on the valve & the grapple are way to long, had to fold the ones on the tractor over to shorten them.

candyman | Nice job but why did you not use the Kubota kit which has really nice neat steel lines that follow the loader arms.

kuboman,
did not know kubota had a kit for that guess i just got caught up in reading about the wr long kit.
the kit cost to much, but it is on now & works great.
