Hit a bit of a snag with this project today, I headed over to JDParts to begin pricing out the parts needed to make the changes.
After adding the parts to my cart I took a deep breath and clicked over to the cart $5300+ and that wasn't even all of the parts.
They want $1900 for just the diverter block. I'm not sure how much this option was when 110's were in production but there's not way on god's green earth I can justify 5k+, I'm not sure what deere's thinking is on this one other than forcing the "factory only" angle down your throat with cost.
I'm disappointed to say the least but I think I'll learn to live with the FitRite solution.

Matt,
Since you seemed to have ignored my post you may want to revisit it #5. I would suggest again you consider something such as an IMatch with the valve block and quick connects mounted to it. You could plug it into the PB circuit and have a small multi cable connecting the electric controls. Easy to take off and replace with the hoe.
Steve, I'd never ingnore your post! My Gannon box blade isn't Imatch compatible(I have an Imatch) so your suggestion won't solve my issue.
I need to just bite the bullet and go with the fitrite setup. I really don't care for the mess the hoses created when going aftermarket but it will make removal easier. And after I get the valve oriented best I could look at adding hard lines where possible. It just seemed alot more trim and clean with the factory diverter. But it looks like I'm going to have to compromise this time.
