Adding rear hydraulics to L2250

[Leejohn]

I looked up the part and I don't know if it was a miss print or not, but if it wasn't you well not buy one. It said it was $300.00 and you know where they could put that. Just get one made, it's just a flat plate with 2 holes in it. Good and flat on one side and faced off for the o rings. A guy could use a back facing tool to do that. There is no way I would pay that much for a flat peace of steel with 2 tapped holes in it.

So how does the hydraulic fluid flow through it if it is a flat plate? I might well be able to machine a piece of 3/4" thick material with mounting bolt holes and then tap the plate over the hydraulic holes to accept a 3/8" pipe thread and groove for an O ring.

Your tractor is open center hyds and it goes into a OC valve and out the tank port of the valve. All you got to find out is what one on the tractor is pressure. With cover off just turn it over and you well see real quick, just don't start it if you can. Oil flows all the time the tractor is running.

What does your manual say about what line are what?

On the fender mounted valve there is a label "input". I will follow the line to the connection point on the tractor.

I miss understood part of your ?, right now the plate has a slot in it from one hole to the other with 1 oblong oring. That lets the oil flow all the time in the loop.

My tractor has the actual factory adapter plate for the rear control. The plate with the oblong cover is not on mine. I could possibly manufacture a block that does the same thing as the factory take off cover. But I could be chasing a rabbit here in this conversation... That would not be new for me.

Are both press and return from your fender mounted valve going to the plate under the seat?

 

[Leejohn]

Yes you do not use a PB fitting, that's the way kubota's kit shows it.

forgive my foolish questions, what's a PB fitting?
