5220 Rear SCV

[vobpc]

My new (to me) 5220 was set up for a backhoe so it has the quick-disconnect power beyond kit installed with the jumper hose installed since there is no more backhoe. It's fed hydraulically from the mid mount SCV which feeds the loader. I need to have two connections on the rear for scraper blade angle and tilt so I assume I need a rear SCV and the associated controls installed. There does not appear to be one on this model behind the right rear wheel like on the 4300 series Deere.

The question is do I need to remove the power beyond and install the rear SCV from scratch or can a rear SCV be fed off of the power beyond setup that's there now?

Also, are their any substitutes for Deere SCV's? The list price for a dual SCV is about 1,000....a tad bit highway robbery, even for Deere.

Thanks.

You can plumb a new two spool valve into the PowerBeyond loop. You will have to make your own mount, and purchase all the piece-parts to get it done. This can be a very daunting task if this will be your first hydraulic project.

The estimated cost will be about $500 or so...and will not look factory. The $1000 JD want includes all the hardware and steel lines that make it cost that money.
