GC1710, you mentioned that you like your manual thumb after you modified it. Is it a MF thumb? Do you have a thread or photos of what you did to it?

Thanks, Bob

Someone asked for parts list for my hydraulic rear remote build (two spool option). I will have to be quick as I'm short on time but here is a start (I do believe you can do this with any GC, but you'll need more hose and further understanding to do it with the non-backhoe versions as you'll have to plug into the loader spool. With the backhoe versions you just use the lines normally used for the back hoe.

The actual spool I used
9-7862 2 SPOOL 8 GPM PRINCE MB21BB5C1 DA VALVE $151 from surplus center

some of the fittings I used (but be warned some of these were for other projects):

More fittings (I am just coping these from gmail order receipts) this is the bait to help you fish at the very least.

I think these were the quick connectors I used from titan-attachments

(2 Set) Titan 1/2" Hydraulic Ag Quick Couplers Interchange 4050-4 / 8010-4 Pioneer Deere (2)PC12M+(2)PC12F 3 $84.00



This was the 2nd hydraulic ram which turns the blade (not shown in any pics, I will try and get some taken)). I bought this from Dalton Hydraulic.
Dalton Welded Swivel Mount Cylinder 1.5 Bore x 6 Stroke DBH-1506-WSE 1 $84.74


This should get you started, in all I probably had $400 spent to have all this working. All the quick connects cost as much as the rams! If you want to same money and just need them on one attachment you could maybe bypass the quick attachments.

Here is a video of clearing snow with that blade, this was before the side to side tilt ram was in place.

This thing worked great all winter, I have since made it taller for big snows using sheetmetal roofing and some left over cedar (it isn't pretty but works good).


Last year I used horse mat as the protection, but this year I think I'm using a piece of Delrin or similar.

Did you use existing hydraulics (from backhoe) or did you source the hydraulics from FEL (power beyond) ...

I exchanged PM’s with GC1710 several days ago, he mentioned he was traveling due to work and wouldn’t be able to log on here for awhile. He’s not ignoring us. About the hydraulics, I’m pretty sure that he used the existing backhoe circuit.

ok.... The problem I encounter is I can not find any information on how the BH hydraulic hookups up are implemented on the 1710 and 1720, unfortunately the 1705 and 1715 do not have these hydraulics implemented... The shop manual I have does a really good job of showing how FEL hydraulics (from valving to cylinders) operate but no mention on how hydraulics are plumbed on the 1710 or 1720 to get power to BH...Or in my case it would be probably be labeled as "power beyond"....

The frustration is that MF actually gives a part number for a power beyond kit, but local parts guy and corporate seem to be unable to supply the actual data about what it is (kit?) and how to connect it...

Oh well...

I did a similar set-up on mine, using the BH lines 20190101_173219.jpeg20190101_173231.jpeg

Did you ever track down a tilt cylinder?
