Adding Rear dual remotes to GC1710

[cglaser104]

So this fun project just gets more and more exciting. The power beyond hose that gets plugged into the power hose when you disconnect the backhoe is showing some serious fatigue. Traced the line up under the middle of the tractor and had to order a new hose to replace it and a fitting to change the coupler type. Hose wasn't leaking...yet... Last order placed for a few fittings and a hose and I'll be golden. Made up some new brackets that need paint once everything is assembled and test fitted. Should have those wrapped in another week by the time I can get back to it. I'll be exited to get this part done so I can turn my attention to the hydraulic sidelink project that's part of this.

Wow, when I opened the first pic, I first thought you disassembled half the tractor! Then, finally focused in....:thumbsup:

Did that hose have a sharp bend in it? .... that was definitely close to bursting. How many hours?.

The valve assembly mount and position looks great! I am awaiting the next round of final pics! Oh, thanks for the side link info...

cglaser, Nice clean addition to your tractor.

Are you using the lines from the backhoe to plumb your new valves or are you running new lines so the valves are functional when you have the backhoe installed?

How much more time do you think it will take you to remove your top n tilt valves for the installation of your backhoe?

I'll have to inspect my backhoe lines better and with a flashlight.

I'm plumbing the tractor so the backhoe will plug in like normal into quick connect block and the new valve will always be active. I have traced and identified all the lines to make sure I know where everything is going. I've always detested the hanging lines out the back and am working to resolve that moving forward. What I'll have to do is carry a jumper hose to connect the power & power beyond like you would connect the hoses normally. (It'll make sense when you see the pics)

Once it's all done the tilt cylinder should be able to stay like the manual one would and the top cylinder will unclip like a normal toplink plus 2 quick connect hoses.

Thanks for the information.

Yes, I hate the 3 loose looping hoses that will connect to the backhoe.

That's a good idea you have, sounds like your going to fix mount the three loose hoses and use an additional short hose to make the connection when the backhoe is off.

And use three short hoses to make the backhoe connection to the fixed couplers on the tractor.

If I got that right?

That's correct. Additional short hose to make the connection. I'll permanently extend the hoses from the backhoe to the block but won't get to that until the work is done on the tractor itself.

It had the normal loop in it. It's a 2015 with 410hrs on it. I use bungie ties to hold the hoses to the toplink as most of my time in the tractor is for rest implement and loader work all they are constantly in motion as I articulate the 3pt. I mow with it rarely do the hoses are always tied so they don't get pinched which I have done before and had to replace a hose.

So I finally got everything fit and assembled. First test of the hydraulic function worked flawlessly with both cylinder connected.

Next step to fine tune the bracket that will be were I plug the backhoe into. My first iteration doesn't quite allow me to route the hoses where I want and need to for proper clearances. The hoses are also just a bit to close to the tire so I wanna tighten it up and resolve that as well.

Lol if you like it now wait till you see it painted in its final form with the T'n'T setup on it!

Edit: once done I'll leave detailed instructions and a parts list for what I did and how I did it.
