I accept with information: The basic diverter that most use is THIS one from the Surplus Center. It does NOT come as a kit so the switch, fitting hoses and brackets need to be sourced separately.

Hey Kenny, got another question on the wiring..
Just got the Diverter in yesterday, so i can start making the brackets / mounts. My question is on the wiring..
Each solenoid has two connections on it. One for ground one for power correct? ( i don't think it matters which is which right?)
NOTE - I AM A WIRING DUMMY...
So think think i always want the dump/curl side on, then when i hold the momentary switch turn that side off and put power to the 3rd function.
Advice? Wiring link - https://www.surpluscenter.com/Instruct/I9-5117.pdf
Thanks

What you need is a toggle switch. The up position might be for the grapple, and the down position might be the curl function. Tie the ground wires together and connect to ground,

In one position, the curl function will be active until you flip the switch to grapple, and you don't have to touch the switch again until you need curl.
When you want to use grapple, flip the switch to grapple position, and that lets you work with the grapple without touching the switch every time. You could do momentary on one side of a switch. Momentary up for grapple, and down lock for curl.
Switches available
on-on------------------------This is the sequence you need. Two position switch.
on-off-on
on-off-momentary
momentary-off-momentary.

Please confirm which valve you have the 5117 or the 5117A?
The "A" valve does NOT need power at all for the curl to work, both solenoids are powered for the Grapple to work. The non-"A" valve is different.
And, it does not matter which lug you put power to...
Funny question Kenny!! When I went to order this I remember you saying one was better than the other, so I went back to the first page. Then Re-read your post on which one to buy and clicked the link you had posted for the A model. Then just purchase the one the link sent me to.
After just re-reviewing my order, the links you had posted both go to the non-A version. No big deal, looks like i bought the regular one, not the A version..
Might want to edit your post if you can so in case some else clicks it they get the recommend one.
I have the 5117 model..
Thanks

jd2305cd, has already posted a diagram of the 9-5117. It says to select one of the valves first, or the FEL will go into relief. as both valves are closed until voltage is applied to one valve at a time. Valve 9-5117a does a flip flop on the valves to switch between the grapple and the curl.
Just wire the solenoids as in the wiring link.
That 9-5117A valve is out of stock. That is the one the other guy is having trouble with.
Use a switch that is on -up, or on, down.. No center position. 12 v goes to the center terminal of the switch. This way, you will always be in curl or grapple. Wire the solenoid switch so it has voltage with tractor running. You might put a 2 amp CB/fuse in the circuit.
