Any pics of 20 series remotes, pre-2014

[sikmusicfreak8]

Well, got some bad news today. The RMK2-20 remote kit that is $550 is for 2014+ 20 series tractors. The pre-2014 kit*is the RMK2 kit, which is over $1200. Wondering if anybody has some pictures of their rear remotes on a 20 series Branson, pre-2014. Looking to see*exactly where the valve handles and the valves themselves mount, now I am thinking of building my own.

Thanks!

Here are 3 pics of the rear connections on my 2005 3510 Branson that I added to power a Jinma Backhoe that I converted to use on my tractor.
It was easy enough to hook up. I removed the "8" fitting on the 2 holes and added the 90* fittings.
For security I added the adjustable pressure relief valve in the circuit. (the aluminum block with fittings and hoses)
I didn't know if the Jinma Hoe had a relief valve or how accurate/dependable it was.
When the hoe is not on the tractor I keep the hoses connected to each other as the circuit was with the "8" fitting.

So the upper/fwd 90* is the high pressure fluid coming out of the tractor, and goes to the pressure relief first?

When the fluid is "returned", does it power other hydraulic items (like the 3pt hitch) or does it just dump back into the reservoir?

I'm not sure where the fluid goes after it returns to the housing.
The tractor comes with a figure "8" looking fitting that the fluid comes out and then right back in.
The pressure hose goes past the aluminum but is "T"ed to the pressure side of the block and the return hose is "T"ed to the outlet side so if the backhoe dead-heads the pressure can return through the relief valve.
I put the valve in for "just in case" because the worst thing you can do is dead-head a hydraulic pump! Something WILL break.

I already have the power beyond for my backhoe, but now I need to add remotes. Looking to see how people have them setup on here, hoping to see some factory ones.

Using logic, I am assuming it powers the 3 point hitch afterward.

Since you have the hydraulic hoses for the backhoe already, you can either tap into the "outgoing" or "incoming" line (flow direction is essentially the same) and plumb it into the "In" on a standard 2-spool "Cross" hydraulic valve. The "out" then continues on to complete the circuit.

I already have a 2-spool and I plan to do mine similar to this: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/322000-kubota-l3301-3200-rear-hydros.html

I you like to run the remotes with your left hand instead:

I like the set-up on Post #10:
