Fordson Super Dexta 1964
My old Fordson Super Dexta has a front loader with a tip bucket, I have to pull a cable to release it. I would like to add two way hydraulic cylinders for both the front loader and the bucket.
I see a solution where I disconnect the orginal hydraulics for the front loader and only use this for the lift arms. And then add a addon hydraulic pump for the front loader and bucket, and a controll valve.

Therefore my question is if anyone has a layout diagram and some parts advises to make this work?

Thank you for reading my post :)

You apparently have a mechanical dump bucket, not uncommon for the vintage. Are you presently controlling the loader lift with your 3-pt control lever? Is there a bolt-on plate just forward of your seat mount (which may be the auxilliary services control currently used for your loader)? If so, you may be able to install a dual spool control valve in it's place to provide the conrols you are looking for.

The solution you suggest is workable, but there may be another less costly solution.

Yes, I have a mechanical dump bucket. In front of my seet I have auxilliary services control and flow adjuster. I'm using the original control lever to control my front loader when switched to auxilliary.

Would there be a dual spool control valve that would be a straight bolt on?

cheap way is to get a suitable 2 spool valve and run it off the valve that is currently running hte laoder lift circuit.
