Another Diverter

[Steve_Miller]

Finally getting around to post some pictures of my diverter I installed on my CK20.
1st pic. Diverter and relay are mounted under left side floor board between FEL valve and rear fender.
2nd pic. Side view of tractor, tried to keep things as hidden as possible.
3rd pic. This is the opposite side where the line tee's to the front/side and the back outlets located just behind the tool box.
4th pic. This is my joystick switch. I used a relay as this is a very light duty switch because of it's size and probably wouldn't handle the continuous on/off cycles of the solenoid.
5th & 6th pics. These are two different angles of the back remotes.
7th pic. Side remotes for controlling my 4' snow wing I built a few years back.
8th pic. Front remotes for my grapple I built this past winter.

Any questions, i'm more than willing to try and answer.

That looks great Steve,
What diverter is that...hard to see since you have it hidden so well!

It's been so long, I'm not positive but I think it is Hy-spec. There sold at Princess Auto in Canada. I got it on sale for $190 canadian. I think I spent more on fittings than I did for the valve.

Nice neat work. What fitting did you use on the FEL torque tube to secure the hoses? Any chance of a close up photo?

If you look at my photo you'll see why I am asking.

Why don't you just get a couple of standard bulkhead fittings and mount them in a simple angle bracket? Discount Hydraulic Hose sells the fittings.

Or you can make your own like I did for the front and the back.

Thanks guys, however: I cannot find the fittings in the Discount Hydraulics (Discount Hydraulic Hose.com) on line catalog and I don't (yet) have anywhere near the fabrication expertise that either of you do. Pineridge referred me to TSC and Pioneer fittings but those are not in the TSC on line catalog either. I live in a tractor deficient part of the country so I cannot run down to the local supply store for these things.

Island,
I searched for "bulkhead" at DHH and came up with several pages...
Discount Hydraulic Hose.com

You can find them at DHH by selecting "NPT Bulkhead Couplings" from the "Brass Fittings and Adapters" main menu.

I think we are talking about different things. I can find the NPT fittings, I cannot find the braces or a way to securely mount my existing QC fittings to the FEL torque tube. I need something that functions like the piece of metal in the photograph below which is the stock factory brace for the QC fittings on the FEL post. I need something functionally similar that could be attached by welding or bolting to the torque tube.

Thanks
