Installing 3rd Function Hydraulics - Electric over Hydaulic

[seaneastok]

Great install..Best part is, everything fit where I was planning/hoping it would on my own 4530. Surely one year difference couldnt have changed that much hopefully. I have been meaning to get third function installed for awhile now, I think you may have just lit a fire :thumbsup:

Irsmum,

Great writeup. I have been wanting to do this myself. After your write-up, I will attempt it. I did not see or misunderstood. Where did you tap into the hydraulic lines? Thanks for the info.

It is described in post 3. You first need to identify your power beyond hose on your loader valve. Mine went to my 3 pt lift in the rear. You simply insert your solenoid valve in-line with this hose. So it goes like this:

Power Beyond>>>>>Solenoid valve>>>>>>3 Pt

Thank you.

wow, I am going to try this. and to think some places want over $800 for the kit.

Irsmun, Is this the solenoid?

Hydraulic Solenoid Valve - 12 VDC - D03 4W3P Open Center Spool
IH-D03S-2H-12D-35

Is this the subplate?
D03 Valve Subplate
IHI-D03-SP06-01

There are so many choices and I wanted to make sure I bought the correct ones. Thanks.

It looks right but you have to get the right valve for your tractor's hydraulic system. If yours is open center then, yes. All D03 subplates fit D03 valves so no issue there. J_J or MtnViewRanch were great at answering my questions. You can go to my first post of this thread for a link to all my dumb questions before I started. I posted this and my other thread because I noticed everyone was asking the same questions over and over. Its usually a fundamental misunderstanding about how a hydraulic system works.

Great install! I wish i would have done mine this way instead of the diverter , i think it would have been cheaper.

I don't see the link.

Oh you meant the blue "here" that's underlined and when you click on it, it takes you to another post. yeahhhh......... open mouth, insert foot. sorry.

I read your original post 4 times and I am even more confused than ever. I thought I had a handle on it, but now I'm not so sure at all.

This is what I have on my 750. I have an open center, constant flow 2030 psi gear pump, driven by engine. I think it's a 9cc pump with a 4 gpm. I wanted to tap into the power beyond line right after my remote cylinder valve. Which solenoid would be best for me? Please help.

It is up to you what you want to do.

If you want to control a grapple at full flow and full speed, then get a 3rd function solenoid valve, and uses a push button .

If you want to control the grapple using the joystick, then get the selector/diverter valve. You can feather the grapple.

If you want a remote valve, then get a 2 or 3 spool remote valve with maybe float, detent, etc.

Seeing my setup from post #32 and knowing that I want a third function, can you recommend a solenoid for my tractor that costs less than $200? maybe around $150. Would the one irsmun used on his tractor be good for mine? Thanks.

 

[J_J]

12 VDC 10 GPM OC DA SOLENOID VALVE

1 STATION DO3 SUBPLATE OPEN CENTER

Just match up fittings and some hose and a place to mount the valve.

Then wire up the solenoid so it has power when tractor switch is on.

Thanks J.J. I added the stuff to my cart. Do you happen to know if forum members get a discount? Thanks.

I am not sure, but you can ask.

Tell then I refer many people to their web site.

How does the solenoid attach to the block? Is there gasket material between the two mating surfaces? just seems like a lot of pressure between the joining surfaces.

That's a good question that I never thought about.

The tech at Surplus said o-rings come with the valve.
