I recently bought a Davis 185 backhoe (circa 1954) to use with my Case 595 tractor. We have figured out how to mount the backhoe to the tractor and we can lift it and move around fine but the remote hydraulics on the tractor will only operate the backhoe stabilizer cylinders ( up and down). Tractor remote system does not appear to be supplying hydraulic power to the main 6 way hydraulic valve to operate the backhoe itself. Will I have to add a separate hydraulic remote to the tractor hydraulic system to supply power directly to the backhoe? Where in the tractor hydraulic system would I tap it to get enough flow -- need 15 GPM. A hydraulic valve ( open and closed) came with the backhoe as well as some extra hoses. s this a conversion I should have my Dealer do? Any ideas, help appreciated.
