Help--I'm loosing my mind

bucmeister · Sep 23, 2009

I need some help. Over the weekend I read through or dreamed I read through a thread that presented a very detailed account of installing a 3 port 12 volt selector valve. It was from Surplus Center and was originally a CAT part. The Surplus Center part number appears to be 9-6865 in their catalog and is no longer on the site because they have sold out. The article was full of pictures and was a very deluxe install. I thought it was user 3RRL that did the project, but when looking at the work he has done on his and his wife's tractors it appears all of his work has been with sectional valves not selector valves.

Anyway, I have searched ten ways from Sunday trying to find this specific thread mainly because of the clamps the installer used to secure the hoses along the path up the loader arm. They are plastic or something similar two piece units with a bolt through the middle and a hole on each side for holding the hoses. I want to find the part # and source of those specific clamps since they will piggyback on top of the JD original 4 hole clamps.

Have I truly lost my mind and just imagined the thread or what? Rob, (3RRL) responded to an email and linked me to his threads, which I had read through a couple of times, but as best I can tell his projects had triple manual control sectional valves not electrically controlled selector valves that changes circuits for a single sectional valve to control.

Any help will be muchly appreciated.

Hey J.J. See you lost the hat and beard.

I'm not sure I can help you, but maybe the thread Need help plumbing 2nd loader valve. might be what you're looking for. If not, go to the Search function and enter {"Surplus Center"+"selector valve"} and see what you get.

Yea, I did, but it is growing back. I grew the beard to look old, I guess it worked.

Had found that one, it is designed to weld the base plate onto the equipment whereas the one I am looking for is just the plastic part and definitely shaped differently.
