Just my ignorance of your loader setup. My valves are mounted on loader mast and PB sleeve for most (Prince etc)loader valves are $30, a single spool w/relief about $60. Guess I missed the joystick part. Nice installation btw.

very nice! hey, did you drill holes all the way through the loader frame to mount your valve or did you do some welding or something?

SanMan,
The 3 mounting hole(5/16") are only drilled through one side on the mast. The bottom of the mast is open, so I just reached up inside to put the washers and nylock nuts on.

thanks:
I'am about to get started on set of grapples for my L3130.The mast an arm setup is a little different than yours but I do have room on the inside of the arm.
Since mine is tubular I was wondering do you think its ok to drill through or maybe weld some bolts on and slip the valve onto them with nuts an washers.

Sanman,
I am hesitant to answer that question without seeing the setup you have, any chance of posting pics of the loader mast?
I did not pre-plan the location of the diverter valve, I ordered it and then when I had it in hand, set out to find the best, most out-of-the way place to mount it. If you are sure you are going to do this, go ahead and order just the valve.
Good Luck

the loader frame is raised alittle bit to get a better view.the top two hoses are bucket curl, and I was thinking about mounting the valve between the loader pin and metal connectors which is about 12or13".
L the loader valve hoses to diverter IN, loop short hoses from OUT to the metal line connectors and L lines from diverter ports to grapple cylinder QD's.

That is a very cool setup. All gizmo freak grease monkeys are drooling! I haven't played with or thought it through but does anyone think this same setup could be modified to run remote tools like a log splitter or hydraulic jackhammer?
