Converting to a joystick for FEL

SSdoxie is correct that if that is the only valve and the first valve in the circuit, the return always goes to tank.

To clear up the PB thing.

Most valves come with PB port and is not really functional if you are not adding any more valves downstream.

You can not plug a PB sleeve as that makes that valve a closed center valve.

If it came with the PB sleeve installed, you can do two things.

Remove the PB sleeve and plug the PB port and run the OUT line to tank/reservoir.

Use the PB port and tee the PB hose and the OUT hose and then run a hose to tank.

Your choice, but removing the PB sleeve and plugging the PB port would be the cheapest.

Thanks for all the help. Now, like I said earlier, I need some warm weather to get this installed. We have had plenty of cold so far but not enough snow to use the tractor to plow but I can't risk taking it down in case of snow. Was hoping to get this done before winter but the special order took time because of valve body casting supplier problems. More below zero weather later in the week. Its a long winter so far.

Thanks again

P.S. I hope to be down in Florida visiting relatives from Jacksonville area, Cresent City and Tampa area in April. Hope to soak up some sunshine and eat some fresh seafood. Can't wait!
