True 3rd function or diverter valve for grapple?

avc8130 · Feb 12, 2016

I did a diverter setup on my L45 on the curl function. If anyone is considering a diverter make 100% sure the function you plan to divert does NOT have regen. I need to replumb my setup to the lift function as my loader valve is always regen on dump and it makes the diverter virtually useless.

And the diverter kit we sell includes a small momentary switch that is attached to the joystick handle, it can be positioned wherever the user finds it most comfortable.

I guess KennyD didn't see your post, so I will answer: Ken's Bolt on Grab Hooks <<Hydraulics>>

I can't find the switch listed separately, only as part of the kit. Will e-mail him directly.

Sorry AW, Just saw this...
We do not sell the switch separately at this time.

Mcmaster has them. I think it is "B"?

They are made by a company in NJ. I tracked them down a few years back. I recall that Digikey had them too, but I have not looked there for them recently. You are looking for weather proof momentary switches. It is wise to add a diode to help protect the relay from the back current surge (look it up online, I know it is a problem, but am not an electrical guru - this is a commonly know thing in the electrical world from what I hear).
