few 4410 hydraulic questions

ohioboy · Sep 10, 2012

I've installed a solenoid selector valve on my tractor for grapple on loader. I bought it from baileynet (can't locate part no. at moment) and it was less $ than surplus center, works well, but there's a little issue...
In addition to -6 inputs/outputs it has an sae-4 drain port for fluid that somehow gets past spool.
It pisses a little fluid from here.
Other than plumbing this port back to some type of tee arrangement at rear end vent/fill, is there another more convenient place further forward to plumb it to tank?
I've got ePowerReverser trans

Also, who's/which top n tilt do you guys recommend?? And which/who's tip for pioneer coupler??

Thanks in advance!

Looks like key#4 in this picture would work

Thanks, I'll look there. I should be able to plumb a 1/4" line to dump there.

I checked out the suggested location and its on left side of machine essentially above rear axle.

Does anyone see why I can't/shouldn't plumb this dump line to the valve manifold's tank galley?

The valve manifold is only a few feet behind loader/selector valve on right side of transmission housing.
I'm assuming it's unrestricted to tank, i.e. no/little pressure

I'd have to source metric adapter fitting for that connection.

Thanks in advance again!!

Is there any reason you ca 't just plug the -4 so once it is full and is just full of what slipped past the spool?

Tried that. Still wants to push fluid past plug which lends me to believe it needs to be plumbed to tank.
Trying to compress/fight fluid on the wrong side of seal can't be a good thing for longevity.
