Quick disconnects on ym165d

[ym165dpete]

I have a ym165d ,and it has a hydraulic snow plow on the front that doesn't have quick disconnects and I would like to put 4 quick disconnects so I can drop the plow when I don't need it, but I hear about this deadheading problem on the hydraulic pump. My question is can I put these 4 disconnects inline between the control levers and the plow without deadheading the pump?

Yes, as long as the valve is not activated. Does the valve have a PRV (presure relief valve)?

I'm not sure if it has a relief valve ,this was plumbed with the hyd block on the top of the tractors tranny.One line to the control valve and one line back.Then 4 quarter inch line from under the valve ,2 to the lift cylinder and one to the right swing,and one to the left swing.How could I tell if it had a relief valve Pete

Post some pictures of the valve if you can. The PRV usually looks like a screw with a jamb nut on it. You can also plump in a main PRV.

Yes it looks like I have a PRV is this what makes that squeal noise when you are at the top of the lift or far left of right on the blade swing? Pete

its actually simple, go up to the paper clip when you are posting and click on it. when the screen pops up, you can press browse and then select an image from your computer. after selecting your image(s) press upload and commense typing. When it is done, the screen will pop up with your thumbnails attached. After this, just close the window and they will automatically be on your post. :thumbsup:

Yes, that's it. When it's sqealing then the PRV is working. You can safely add QD's to the work ports on your valve.
