Adding loader and SVCs to Massey 65

[SilverbackMP]

All,

I've located a Massey 236 complete with accessory pump, two spool valve, and as I understand it, the reservoir is built into the loader. I will be installing it on a MF65. I would like to add a grapple and two or three rear remotes (two would be good-three would be better). I would like to Top and Tilt in the future and still want a free svc in the rear. What would be the best way to do this? I know almost nothing about hydraulics. From reading here and other places on the net, I'm thinking about the following plans:

1) Replace the two spool valve with a stack of six prince spool valves. Would this work? It may be ungainly with that many valves hanging of the side of the tractor.

2) Replace the two spool valve with a three or four spool prince valve and use selector valves. I feel confident about being able to use a select valve on the grapple function and splitting it with a svc on the back but am unsure about splitting off the curl or lift functions on the loader. Would the loader stay put if it had its hydraulics switched to the back for short periods of time?

3) Plumb into the tractor's internal hydraulics for the rear svcs.

Can you guys please help me choosing the best coarse of action with this?

Thanks

SB

Does the valve that's on the loader have a Power Beyond port? That will determine the best way to add new valves...If you are unsure what I mean-then just count the number of hoses connected to the valve, it will be 6 or seven. You can also look and see if there is a used or unused port labeled "PB".

Kenny, thanks for the quick reply. I will be picking up the loader tomorrow afternoon and will be back home the next day (loader is located several states away). I will post again when I get back and have a good look at the loader.

Thanks
